History
How We Started
Muguriyarra was formed in 2022 as a 50/50 joint-venture partnership between capability partner NTC Contracting and JLAH Contracting, a wholly owned Thalanyji / Ngarluma Indigenous business.
JLAH Contracting was formed by Thalanyji man Jaiden Hayes. Now with the growth of JLAH Contracting there are 3 generations of Jaiden’s family working in the business, including his daughter and his father, a Ngarluma man.
NTC began operating in the North West in 1950. At that time, the company’s name was Northern Transport Co, and they specialised in providing a road freight service in Onslow.
The Growth of NTC Contracting
NTC Contracting began a long-standing contract with Onslow Salt Pty Ltd in 2001. The job was to haul salt from Onslow’s crystalliser ponds to its washing and processing plant. At the plant, the salt would be made ready to ship overseas.
In order to successfully complete this project, Northern Transport Co secured a haulage fleet comprised of seven road trains using double side-tippers to haul raw salt. The salt haul was a nine-kilometre lead that operated on a 24-hour–seven-day per-week schedule. On this job, Northern Transport Co provided more than one million tonnes of salt per year to sell abroad.
It was at this juncture that Northern Transport Co transitioned into NTC. Initially, NTC offered an earthmoving service designed to meet the needs of many of the local mining productions operating around the Pilbara-Gascoyne region.
Today, Muguriyarra takes pride in being one of the most established civil contractors in the area, with a range of capabilities that we are constantly improving and enhancing to reinforce our presence in the region.
