THE TGAA (WA)
The TGAA (WA) has successfully developed into a leading professional body representing the sports turf industry in WA. One of the main benefits of membership with the association is networking with others in the turf industry, which is an invaluable resource of skills and experience. The TGAA (WA) also encourages the professional development of members by holding regular educational workshops and seminars.

EDUCATION & TRAINING
The TGAA (WA) is committed to providing quality, up-to-date knowledge and training within the turf industry and as such invests strongly in education and research programs in the state, such as the UWA kikuyu research project.
The association has also established the ‘Lin Hambleton Bursary’ to provide one year of free tuition for a Turf / Horticulture student to study at Challenger TAFE, Murdoch.

SOCIAL EVENTS
For members we have introduced successful social activities, such as the AGM Golfday, and the end of year Christmas Lawn Bowls Day. A Presidents’ breakfast held early in the year is a valuable social forum designed to promote recent achievements and forthcoming association activities.
