Fertilise Wise Turf Management
Why Fertilise Wise?
Turf Managers, including Local Government Parks and Gardens Officers, are responsible for nutrient use on turfed areas, reserves and in local parks and gardens and have the opportunity to lead the community by setting examples in best practice.
LGA Annual Nutrient Report
Each year the thirty LGA’s of the Perth Region are given the opportunity to take part in the Annual Nutrient Survey – an initiative of the Phosphorus Awareness Project (PAP). The results of the “Annual Nutrient Survey for Local Government Authorities” provides examples of strategies that turf managers can implement to achieve a high level of nutrient Best Management Practice (BMP). Score Cards have been produced for the Local Government Authorities that responded to the survey which scores them on their overall level of nutrient BMP since 2000. The Score Cards showcase five years of answers for each question which clearly demonstrates trends with recommendations made on how to improve practice where needed.
