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 […]

It’s rare that a week will pass by without us being asked whether we have got any work going, or someone popping into the office asking about job opportunities. While the answer is (almost) always ‘yes’, for anyone who’s new to the industry there is a handful of things that need to be in place […]

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 […]

60 years ago a 23 y.o. bloke called Lawrie and his wife, Thelma, started a construction company in Cobden, called L.H. and T.O. Green. In the company’s early years they focussed on projects for the Soldier Settlement Commission and the Rural Finance Commission in southwest Victoria’s Heytesbury area, building most of the dairies in the […]

Late in the afternoon of Saturday 16 March Cobden’s good Knights became great. At the Cobden Recreation Reserve, Cobden’s division one premiership cricket team ended a 23-year South West cricket premiership drought by beating the fancied Pomborneit Bulls by just 17 runs. As reported in The Standard, the win was “A long time coming.” That was how the […]

“Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them*.” Acting with integrity is one of our six values – the other five are Excellence, Respect, Value, Balance and… Community. Our Community value is very simple. We […]

For the first time in our history we’re attending the Warrnambool and District’s Careers Expo at the Warrnambool Greyhound Racing Club on Tuesday, 5 March. We’re going to be there along with almost 60 other businesses coming from all across the southwest for what should be a truly energy filled day. (As of writing there’s almost 700 students […]

Towards the backend of 2023 we finished construction on a robotic dairy on a 113-hectare farm located about 20 minutes from Echuca, on the Victorian/NSW border. The dairy joins the fleet of 38,000 Automatic Milking Systems (AMS) installed on farms across the globe. In this case the client opted for five Lely Astronaut A5 robots – with […]

It’s almost time for James and the crew at GreenCon to pull up stumps for 2023, so they’re taking this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy 2024! They thank everybody who’s chosen to work with them across the course of ’23 and are looking forward to returning to the […]

In Victoria, the principal contractor (PC) is the person or entity deemed to be in control of a construction project. But there are nuances to understanding how a PC ‘is’ the PC, particularly in any case where no PC has been formally appointed by the owner of the construction site.
