Our Story

Mbudg-Mburrum Pty Ltd was born from Country, culture, and courage. Founded by Tradara Naparula Briscoe; a proud Anmatyerr and Warlpiri woman, artist, designer, and business leader. The company carries forward her vision of blending cultural strength with modern enterprise.

​

Tradara’s journey began in Remote Alice Springs, where she was immersed in the strength of culture through hunting, gathering, ceremony, and language, while witnessing her family’s dedication to keeping tradition alive.

​

After years of creating and sharing her art with audiences locally and internationally, Tradara recognised another way to empower her people; by building infrastructure that not only moves dirt and concrete, but also uplifts communities.

That vision is the foundation of Mbudg-Mburrum.
 

Who We Are

Mbudg-Mburrum is %100 female Aboriginal owned civil construction company based in the Northern Territory. We deliver technical excellence in bulk earthworks, road and drainage construction, concrete works, and remote logistics, but our mission goes beyond projects. Every contract we complete is an investment back into our people, with 100% of our profits reinvested into Indigenous communities.

​

Our name, “Mbudg-Mburrum,” comes from the Anmatyerr language, carrying the meaning of creating roads, forging pathways, and opening opportunities. It reflects our purpose, not just to build infrastructure, but to build futures for our people and communities. We exist to show that high end civil delivery can be led by culture, powered by innovation, and measured not just by profit, but by the pride of the communities we serve.
