History

EDAA was founded in 1970 to promote the safe and efficient use of electricity.

The association then known as EDAQ (Electricity Development Association Queensland) was the brainchild of a former Commissioner for Electricity in Queensland, Neil Smith.

The association’s activities were well known and included:

  • The famous Trade Trains that travelled across Queensland
  • Exhibitions - Commercial Cooking, ElectriCook and Telegraph Home Show
  • South Pacific Electrical Conferences (SPEC)
