Reconciliation action plan
We are thrilled to announce that Delcon Group has undertaken the development of a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which has been officially endorsed by Reconciliation Australia in 2022. This signifies our commitment to fostering understanding, appreciation, and respect for the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within our organisation.
Our vision for reconciliation envisions an Australia where unity flourishes between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians, fostering a national culture rooted in equality, historical acknowledgment, and the eradication of negative race relations. Within our organisation, this translates to providing equal subcontract and supplier opportunities, equitable employment practices, and fostering equal growth, training, and development opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Moreover, we aspire to collaborate closely with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, extending our core values of integrity, reliability, and collaboration.
To effectively execute our Reconciliation Action Plan, we have established a diverse RAP working committee comprised of passionate staff members from various roles within our company. This committee convenes regularly to delve deeply into our RAP, steering the implementation of our organisation’s initiatives and commitments.
Our dedication to reconciliation is ongoing, and we are committed to refining and expanding our RAP each year. We eagerly anticipate the journey ahead, inviting our employees, suppliers, and subcontractors to join us as we progress towards reconciliation.

Artwork Story
The artwork by Ngarrindjeri artist Jordan Lovegrove shows Delcon’s journey from its inception in 2005 when the Director purchased a single excavator, until today with now over 100 employees, and our commitment to establishing and maintaining relationships.
The large meeting places on the pathway represent Delcon, starting from the bottom left of the page with the beginning of our journey. The meeting places gradually grow with more people surrounding them – showing the growth of Delcon.
These meeting places are on a pathway which represents the journey. The white meeting places show Delcon’s relationships with clients and partners along the way. The patterned background shows the different country and communities Delcon works with and on.
