PROJECTS and RESOURCES

Turf NSW has had an opportunity to deliver and support a number of projects that provide resources for the turf production industry.  This page shares the outcomes of a variety of projects as well as general resources on the benefits of natural turf. 

Flood Recovery & Resilience for Turf Farms

This project looks at all aspects of managing floods for turf producers. Learning from the experiences of NSW Turf Producers during devastating floods in 2020-2022, this project covers a range of topics including silt management, flood preparation, and recovery.

Grow & Thrive

This project is designed specifically for the Turf Production industry and takes a deep dive into farm operations, business resilience with the goal of discovering ways to Grow & Thrive your business to handle challenging periods and improve your profitability.

NSW Erosion & Sediment Control Site

This project provides the first NSW demonstration site for erosion and sediment control and highlights the benefits of utilising natural turf. The site is set up in Richmond at the Local Land Service Demo Farm and provides opportunities for running workshops and promotion to many industries.

Creek & Drain Clearing

The importance of regular creek and drain clearing was never more evident that during periods of floods. Turf Producers felt the devastating impact of blocked drains and creeks. This project addresses this issue in 3 areas in the Hawkesbury Region.

Turf for Riverbank Restoration

This project demonstrates the benefits of natural turf in restoring riverbanks to prevent erosion. A demonstration site was developed after significant riverbank destruction following multiple floods.

Turf Transport Safety Guidelines

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) awarded Turf NSW with a Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative funded project to develop safety guidelines that cover the restraint of the turf products including packaging and mass and load distribution on various heavy vehicles.

Drought Resilience for Turf Production

This project managed by University of NSW, takes a deep dive into the potential for use of oxygenated nano bubbles in turf irrigation systems and how it could benefit strong healthy turf growth with reduced water and products. COMING SOON.
