The Wamarra mandate is unambiguous


We build large and small quality construction projects while strengthening Aboriginal participation and engagement within the construction industry.

We’re an Aboriginal owned and operated Victorian-based civil contractor, providing meaningful long-term economic independence and career opportunities for Aboriginal people and their communities.

Wamarra language

We use ‘Wamarra’ respectfully as it succinctly expresses our vision for both the growth and development of Aboriginal people while contributing to building Victoria’s infrastructure projects.


Wamarra story

The artwork shows the relationship between Wamarra and its partners, clients and communities – creating meaningful and sustainable opportunities for Aboriginal people. The visual symbols used in the Wamarra artwork express the story of people coming together to create a community that respects and acknowledges who we are and the journey we are on. The Wamarra story gives us a deeper understanding of Aboriginal people, culture and aspirations.
