GreenCon’s Managing Director James Green (L) and The Dairyland Initiative’s Professor Nigel Cook at Dairy Australia’s Raising the Roof event held in Shepparton, northern Victoria, from 20-22 May 2026.

We’ve got a strong pipeline of work heading our way and are on the lookout for skilled construction workers who fit the bill. While GreenCon is headquartered in Cobden, in the Corangamite Shire, our work regularly sees us operating across southwest Victoria — including within the Glenelg, Southern Grampians, Moyne and Colac Otway Shires, along […]

GreenCon’s supporting the Hampden Football Netball League for the third consecutive year.

We are looking forward to another huge season in 2026 and wish every club, player, volunteer, umpire and supporter all the best for the season!

It’s Volunteer Week across Victoria, and we’re tipping our hats to the unsung champions among us who roll up their sleeves and give back to their communities without any fuss or fanfare. At GreenCon, we’re proud to have a number from our team who volunteer away from work. They put in the hard yards during […]

Last year they broke a 23-year drought. And this year???… proved 2024 was no Bull. On Saturday 8 March Cobden’s Knights beat Pomborneit’s Bulls – their grand final opponent for the second year running – in the South West Cricket Association’s division one cricketing premiership final at Camperdown’s S.A Wright Oval. As reported in The Standard, it was the defiant […]

For many years GreenCon has provided sponsorship to the Cobden Cricket Club. And like any club, they’ve had their share of ups and downs: some low points, but also tonnes of highlights. This year, we think they can rightly add one more item to their highlight’s reel. Because, for the first time, the club fielded […]

It’s almost time for James and the crew at GreenCon to pull up stumps for 2024, so they’re taking this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy 2025! They thank everybody who’s chosen to work with them across the course of the year, and are looking forward to returning to […]

Victoria is one of the most fire-prone areas in the world. Understanding fire risks and preparing suitable processes that recognise those risks forms a critical component of how GreenCon operates during the Fire Season, because lives may quite literally depend on it.

When milking stretched out to 10 hours every day, Alex and Robert Robertson knew something had to change at their Simpson farm. That change arrived in the form of an 80-bail rotary dairy, cutting the milking period down to two hours in morning and again in the evening. More than halving the milking time has […]

We are stoked to have been able to support this year’s Cobden Gift, held 26 October at the Bendigo Bank Community Bank Cobden Recreation Reserve. It’s the first of 21 rounds of the Victorian Athletic League’s 2024/25 Race Calendar, culminating with the famous Stawell Gift over Easter weekend, 2025. Congratulations to everyone who took part […]

It’s a rare week that passes by without someone asking whether we’ve got any job opportunities. While the answer is (almost) always yes, anyone new to the industry needs to know about the handful of things they need, before we can take them on. To learn about what those things are, a few months back […]
