One of Australias largest construction companies, Grocon, has gone into administration, leaving thousands of subcontractors at risk of unpaid contracts.

Grocon is known for developments such as Melbournes casino, Eureka Tower and the Rialto Towers.

Grocons chief executive, Daniel Grollo, blamed its administration on Infrastructure NSW for its handling of the Central Barangaroo project.

It is unfortunate that INSW is forcing our hand to place the construction business into administration, Mr Grollo said.

While I have spoken before about moving Grocon away from the construction business model to new initiatives such as Build to Rent, I did not want to call in administrators.

Grocons administration could mean that thousands of subcontracto…

One of Australia’s best-known builders has declared insolvency and is set to go into administration.

Grocon Group has delivered several iconic developments in recent decades, including Melbourne’s casino, Eureka Tower and the Rialto Towers.

The ABC understands numerous creditors are owed tens of millions of dollars, including subcontractors who have hired tradespeople to work on the developer’s projects.

In a statement, Grocon chief executive Daniel Grollo said creditors would be “first in line to be compensated”.

“My desire is to pay the creditors in full,” he said.

My desire is to pay the creditors in full. I believe we will ultimately win the case against INSW and when we do so, the creditors will be the first in line to be compensated.

Once a powerhouse in the construction industry, Grocon has been struggling for some time with a number of legal stoushes and battles with the construction union contributing to its financial woes.

Last year, Grocon put two subsidiaries into voluntary administration in the middle of a court battle with Dexus over a $28 million lease claim.

The Age reported on Friday that Grocon’s only Melbourne project – an $111 million inner-city office development for the Liberman family – had ground to a halt with subcontractors understood to be owed six months’ back pay.

The Supreme Court on Thursday held that “any creditor of a company in liquidation” can become a party to the winding up petition against the defaulting firm and seek transfer of the plea from a high court to a National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), set up under the new law on insolvency and bankruptcy.

A bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde and justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian was faced with two legal questions as to what are the circumstances under which a winding up proceeding pending in a High court could be transferred to the NCLT and at whose instance, such transfer could be ordered.

In a judgement, penned by Justice Ramasubramanian, it has been held that the winding up proceedings is a continuous legal process and under t…

WITH DEBTS looming and dollars scarce, Zambia has wrestled in recent months with a predicament. It knew that failing to pay bondholders would be damaging. But paying only them, having failed to pay others in full, could be worse. Other creditors would blow off my legs, the countrys finance minister said. So on November 13th Zambia became the sixth government to default on its bonds this yearafter Argentina, Belize, Ecuador, Lebanon and Suriname. Others may follow. Although financial markets have regained much of the composure they lost in March, many countries still have more debt than they can comfortably handle. Thirty-eight governments have a credit rating that denotes a material risk of default or worse, twice the number at the en…

Royal Mail has said revenue from parcel deliveries has surpassed letters for the first time, fuelled by a surge in online shopping during the pandemic.

The postal group said turnover from parcels now makes up 60% of its total revenue, which rose by nearly 10% in the first half of its financial year.

But it was not enough to stop a sharp drop in profits, due to a number of costs including extra staff to sort the increased parcel volume by hand.

Pre-tax profit fell 90.2% to 17m.

During the six months to 27 September, Royal Mail’s increased costs included 85m related to Covid-19 as well as 147m on voluntary redundancies due to a continuing restructuring of the …
