Welcome to our new website

The Queensland Turf Producers Association (QTPA) is the recognised industry peak body in this state and is very much an integral part of the supply chain in the lifestyle horticulture sector in Queensland with a turnover of approximately $150 million per annum (based on two cuts per year) and a key industry supplier to the wider landscape industry.

Over $2 million on average per year of Queensland produced turfgrass product has been exported over the past three years to countries such as Asia, Middle East and Pacific Islands.

In Queensland it has been identified that there are 152 businesses with an average farm size of 16.6 hectares employing 320 FTE employees with a similar number of casual employees.

Join QTPA and enjoy the benefits

In the past year the QTPA has forged ahead delivering positive benefits to our members.  From farm visits, to seminars and the start of our "business skills' as well as the employment of two Industry Development Officers (one covering South East Queensland and one covering regional Queensland) all add to delivereing the benefits for our members.  The turf industry also has national representation in the Turf Producers Association and in 2007 has seen the amalgamation of the QTPA and TPA.  This now means that when joining applicants are automatically members of both associations.  With the introduction of a turf levy, research and development projects have commenced such as the benefits of turf as erosion control which will ultimately lead to the specifying of more turf for use by developers and councils as an example.  All this is to ensure the sustainability of the turf industry.
