Larrakia Participation

BMD Constructions was the principal contractor undertaking over $47m of civil construction for the development of the Lyons Estate in Darwin - a milestone project for the region, which at its completion saw 700 allotments developed within a masterplanned community, for Defence Force housing and for the local community.

BMD Constructions was engaged to deliver all 12 stages of the project, including works under traffic for intersection construction, all the integrated civil construction and the reticulation of water, wastewater and sewerage, plus electrical and communication services.

Through a Memorandum of Understanding, trainees from the Larrakia joined our workforce at the Lyons Estate, and a range of other private and Government funded projects throughout the Territory.

This arrangement saw our a number of trainees flourish, with one in particular, Katon Cronin-Wright, going on to win the CCFNT First Year Trainee/Apprentice of the Year at the 2008 Construction Training Awards. 

BMD has a genuine commitment to work with members of all local communities to provide a positive and ongoing legacy that further enhahces the value that the community derives from the provision of infrastructure and development projects.
