Construction, Earthworks & Landscaping

  • Every golf course and sports field is priced on its own site conditions, scope and location, so there's no standard figure. The biggest cost drivers are earthworks volume, drainage and irrigation requirements, surface type (natural turf or synthetic) and site access. As a guide, our recent projects range from ongoing maintenance contracts through to full oval reconstructions over $1 million. Contact our VIC & NSW or QLD team for a site-specific quote.

  • Global Turf uses GPS and Robotic Total Station equipment, giving sub-centimetre construction accuracy with a smaller on-site crew and faster turnaround than conventional survey methods.

  • Yes. Global Turf delivers turf establishment, softscaping, earthworks and drainage for larger residential properties, as well as commercial and community developments, across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

Turf Renovation & Maintenance

  • Renovation addresses an underlying problem, identified through site inspection and soil testing. Maintenance is the ongoing schedule that keeps healthy turf performing. Global Turf assesses your site before recommending which is needed.

  • Timeframes depend on the extent of the works and season, and are confirmed after site inspection and soil testing.

  • Seasonal growth rates, climate, turf usage levels, soil and water conditions, and budget all shape a tailored maintenance schedule, rather than a fixed, one-size-fits-all program.

  • Yes. Global Turf delivers both FIFA-accredited and community-grade synthetic pitches, managing demolition, earthworks, drainage, lighting, pavements and surface installation as a single contractor.

  • Yes. Alongside construction and renovation, we provide ongoing maintenance programs for golf courses, sports fields and racecourses, including full course management contracts such as our ongoing work at Gympie Golf Course in Queensland.

Drainage, Irrigation & Bunker Construction

  • Global Turf assesses site topography first, then applies natural, grid or herringbone drainage designs, combined with primary and secondary pipe and surface drainage, chosen based on what the site actually needs rather than applied as a default.

  • Traditional bunkers rely on a fabric or geotextile liner that breaks down over time, leading to washouts and sand contamination. Better Billy Bunker is a capillary concrete that binds gravel with a specialised polymer, creating a permeable base that drains quickly, holds sand in place on steep faces and gets stronger over time. It also carries a 10-year limited warranty.

  • Better Billy Bunker carries a 10-year limited warranty, with independent testing showing no strength loss through freeze-thaw cycles and strength increasing over time.

Project Management & Consulting

  • Yes. Global Turf regularly prepares tenders and delivers sports field, oval and facility projects for local councils, schools and sporting clubs. Our in-house estimating team supports the process from early-stage tendering through to practical completion, and a dedicated project manager oversees every project from planning to handover.

  • Global Turf constructs, renovates and maintains sand and synthetic racetracks, stable complexes and quarantine facilities for racing clubs across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, including recent track redevelopment works at Cluden Park in Townsville for Racing Queensland.

General

  • Yes. Global Turf operates dedicated Victorian and Queensland teams, with New South Wales projects managed through our Victorian office. We hold a QBCC Medium Rise Builders Licence in Queensland, and both teams operate under ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental) and ISO 45001 (health and safety) accreditation.

  • Global Turf services Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland from offices in New Gisborne, VIC and Woombye, QLD. Our Victorian team covers metropolitan and regional Victoria and manages all New South Wales projects, while our Queensland team works across South East Queensland, the Wide Bay and North Queensland.
