Queensland Landscape contractors (AQLA). This rebirth was at the
initiative of landscape contractors that included Brian Cheeseman, Ross
Kelly, Ross Logan, Jack Lee, Peter Hazeldean and others. For the eight

environmentally sensitive practices.

The Queensland Turf Producers Association (QTPA) commenced in March
2001 and, believed it was timely to develop a Strategic Development
Plan (2003/2006) to support, in a sustainable and professional manner,
the next three-year growth of the industry in this state. As is the
case with all associations the development of member benefits was
paramount and addressing the various issues identified by members
through the inclusive research of the Strategic Plan has provided
considerable direction for the executive of the QTPA.
