GBA Consulting Engineers is an engineering consultancy based in Barcaldine, Western Queensland. The firm was established in 1945 by Mr Clem and Nick Wilson under the name of CH Wilson and Partners. In 1968, the Wilson family left Barcaldine and sold their shares in the firm to George Bourne. George later changed the business name to George Bourne & Associates (GBA). Today, GBA Consulting Engineers remains proudly based in Barcaldine and provides services including Engineering, Survey, Building Consultancy, Cultural Heritage & Environmental, Design and Project Management to central and western Queensland.

GBA Consulting Engineers' success is based on teams of diverse, dedicated people whose expertise and experience ensure quality and flexibility. This allows us to provide optimum client satisfaction through innovation and excellence. Since 1945, our firm has amassed a vast array of experience in providing and managing civil infrastructure throughout central and western Queensland. Our engineers use a fleet of light aircraft and motor vehicles to travel to and from our job sites spread across 29% of the land mass of Queensland.
