Turf Australia is delighted to announce the appointment of Matthew Lunn as their new Chief Executive officer.

Matthew has worked in the horticultural industry for over 35 years and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience regarding association management, having worked for the past six years as CEO of the Nursery and Garden Industry Western Australia and as the Executive Officer of the Landscape Industries Association WA.

Matthew’s education has spanned from the famous Royal Horticultural Society’s Gardens at Wisley in the United Kingdom to Sydney University where he studied under the stewardship of Professor Peter Martin and completed a Graduate Diploma in Turf Management.

Although he will continue to be based in Perth, Matthew will spend a considerable amount of time visiting state associations and its members. A key priority will be reshaping Turf Australia at an advocacy level so, as a peak body, it competes towards the highest of standards.

Matthew will commence at Turf Australia in early January 2023.
