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 […]

We were recently asked about what other sort of work GreenCon does, outside the agricultural sector (and the dairy industry, in particular). Good question! In addition to designing and building hundreds of dairies, GreenCon has built a huge stockpile of experience with construction on gas plants and with other commercial businesses like Fonterra, Saputo and […]

GreenCon was delighted to support this years South West Dairy Ladies Luncheon, held at Deakin University’s Warrnambool campus earlier this month. Having been held every year since 2015, the Luncheon continues to evolve and grow in popularity. In fact, the 320 tickets to this year’s event sold-out in record time, a testimony to the event’s […]

We’ve always got an eye on the horizon, looking for anything that may help us be better at what we do, or things that could help enhance the industries we serve. One of those things is the TrakRite TR 330, a machine we recently imported from the US. Our TrakRite – fitted with a DeepGroove […]

Earlier this decade we were commissioned to design and construct a dairy to accommodate a 50-cow rotary platform, plus a yard capable of holding 400 cows. The outcome was – as we hope you would expect! – successful… to the point where the project was featured on Action Steel’s website. Action Steel – like GreenCon – is a […]

We have had an exciting role come about, for a Civil Construction Project Manager. While the ideal candidate will bring a background of delivering civil work, this role could also be undertaken by a suitably capable individual seeking to advance into a management function. We are a family owned and operated civil construction company, who’ve […]
