BADGE Managing Director, Jim Whiting, said the opportunity to partner with three indigenous organisations based in the north-west of WA and North Queensland to offer a unique value proposition sat well with the company’s community values.

“We hope that this will see aboriginal communities benefit from the significant investment that is made in building and infrastructure across Australia,” Mr Whiting said.

Spokesperson for NACP, Dicky Bedford said “in partnering with BADGE we can target clients who wish to see their investment in construction improve the future of aboriginal communities, with the peace of mind that their construction objectives of time, cost and quality can be met”.

The concept for creating a majority indigenous owned entity was borne from a relationship that BADGE developed with indigenous owned NUDJ Plumbing while constructing the $15M expansion of the Broome State High School.
