Billion Dollar Partnership

Master Builders NT has represented the building and construction industry in the Northern Territory since 1950. While Master Builders NT is part of the overarching MBA Federation, unlike sister organisations across Australia is predominantly an engineering/commercial contracting representative organisation. Members of Master Builders NT include prime contractors and subcontractors that are regularly engaged to undertake projects for the Department of Defence in the Northern Territory Defence projects in the NT.

Master Builders NT has previously commissioned analysis to understand the impacts and opportunities from the Defence Infrastructure Program in the Northern Territory. A study was first commissioned in 2015, and updated again in 2016 based on changes in the level of expenditure anticipated from Defence following the release of the 2016 Defence White Paper.

Since the completion of the 2016 report, the defence landscape in the Northern Territory has again shifted in response to evolving geo-political tensions in the Indo-Pacific region.
