With great respect
Re: Proposal to host the 17th IRPA Congress in Auckland New Zealand
Kia Ora! I am delighted to submit a proposal to host the 17th IRPA Congress in 2028 in the
breathtaking City of Auckland, New Zealand.
Auckland is known in Māori, its indigenous culture, as Tāmaki Makaurau, “a place desired by
many”, and it’s not hard to see why. Known for its urban setting and natural beauty, Auckland Mr Brent Rogers, President
is a perfect mix of two worlds. Phenomenal dining and boutique shopping and is never too far Australasian Radiation Protection
from stunning scenery that includes harbours and islands, volcanic cones, native bush and both Society
white and black-sand beaches. It is the gateway to rest of New Zealand, which is currently
ranked as the second safest country in the world by the Global Peace index.
Naturally, Māori culture remains an important part of everything Auckland has to offer.
Throughout the duration of their stay, IRPA delegates will experience ‘manaakitanga’ (warm
hospitality), which plays a key role in Māori society, encompassing the acts of welcoming and
sharing. This is just one of the reasons Auckland was voted in the top ten friendliest cities in
the world in 2017.
As host to several global events in 2021, including the 36th America’s Cup and APEC Leaders’
Week, Auckland’s city centre is undergoing rapid transformation, which will create a legacy
that will benefit its visitors for years to come. By 2028, your delegates will experience Auckland
at its best.
If successful, IRPA 17 would be hosted by one of the premier IRPA affiliate Societies, the
Australasian Radiation Protection Society (ARPS), who will plan a Congress Theme around
the 120th anniversary of the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to New Zealand born
Ernest Rutherford for his works in the chemistry of radioactive substances. The Congress
would be held in the currently under construction New Zealand International Conference Centre
(NZICC) which will boast 6,674 m2 of divisible, multipurpose hall space, 1000 hotel rooms
connected via an air-bridge and 2700 m2 of meeting space, configurable for up to 33 separate

Dear Mr Coates,
Re: Support to the Australasian Radiation Protection Society (ARPS) bid to host the 17th
International Congress of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA17)
The Centre for Radiation Research, Education and Innovation (CRREI) at the University of Adelaide
would like to express our support to the Australasian Radiation Protection Society (ARPS) who is
bidding to host the 17th International Congress of the International Radiation Protection Association
(IRPA17) in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand for 2028.
The CRREI was established in Oct 2019 within the School of Physical Sciences at the University and is
the only one of its type in Australia. The CRREI is based around four pillars: (1) establishment of a
commercial radioanalytical facility, (2) delivery of tertiary radiation education programs, (3)
facilitation of collaborative radiation research, and (4) public outreach and community engagement.
The Centre was established in South Australia (SA) as this state is currently undertaking and discussing
a number of strategic projects, studies and initiatives related to radiation use and analysis and has a
long history within the field of radiation protection. The CRREI is fast becoming a “centre of
excellence” and is working closely and has strong support from a number of stakeholders, such as the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the SA government, the Australian Radiation Protection
and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation
(ANSTO), the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) as well as many
other international and national organisations.
The CRREI is currently working within the Asia Pacific region and a congress of this calibre would
contribute greatly to the expertise of radiation professionals in our region and to the radiation
protection field in general.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like further clarification of our support.

Support to the Australasian Radiation Protection Society (ARPS) to host the 17th Meeting

Dear Mr Rogers,
I am writing to provide my support to the Australasian Radiation Protection Society to host the
17th four yearly International Congress of the International Radiation Protection Association in
Auckland 2028.
The Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR) National Centre for Radiation Science
(NCRS), which I manage, has a strong history of excellence in radiation protection and safety
service delivery both domestically and internationally. The NCRS Group works closely with the
New Zealand Regulator in providing advice and services with regard radiation protection and
safety.
The IRPA International Congress is recognised as major event in the radiation protection world,
and to host a meeting of this calibre in Auckland will be very highly beneficial to our radiation
protection community, particularly our young scientists who do not often get the opportunity to
travel internationally. The opportunity for ARPS to highlight the high-quality work being carried out
in this scientific discipline in Australia and New Zealand, and the legacy that such a meeting of this
magnitude brings to our community, is one not to be missed.
In principal I support ARPS in their bid to host of the Congress.
Yours sincerely
