The Mura Badulgal (Torres Strait Islanders) Corporation, located on Badu Island, administers land on behalf of the Badulgal people. The Badulgal people’s ownership of Badu and surrounding islands in the Torres Strait was recognised in the Native Title Determination Badu Islanders #1.

Badu Island is one of the larger islands and is partly covered with mounds of basaltic rocks, lightly vegetated open areas. The island is also fringed with extensive mangrove swamps.

Most of the work carried out by the PBC occurs on a voluntary basis.
