SUMMARY:SPORTENG Webinar - Planning Processes for the Development of Natural Turf Sports Fields
DESCRIPTION:Successful sports facilities don’t happen by chance—they begin with the right expertise at the earliest stages of planning. In this insightful webinar\, SPORTENG’s Field of Play specialists will explore the critical role early engineering input plays in shaping high-performing\, durable\, and compliant sporting surfaces. \nToo often\, Field of Play considerations are introduced after projects have gone to tender\, leading to costly redesigns\, unexpected construction challenges\, and long-term performance issues. This session will demonstrate how engaging specialist expertise from the outset can help councils and project teams avoid these pitfalls\, delivering better outcomes and greater value for their communities. \nLucas Skelton\, National Field of Play Team Leader\, and Jonathan Douglas\, NSW Field of Play Specialist\, will share practical lessons drawn from a wide range of projects across Australia. They will unpack how key local factors—including climate conditions\, soil profiles\, usage demands\, and regulatory requirements—directly influence Field of Play design. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of why a “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t work\, and how solutions must be tailored to suit each location. \nThe webinar will also highlight the strength of SPORTENG’s regional presence\, showcasing how their teams across Australia provide on-the-ground support while leveraging national expertise. This integrated approach ensures that every project benefits from both local knowledge and industry-leading technical capability. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nWhy early Field of Play engineering input is essential for project success\nHow to avoid common design and construction pitfalls\nThe impact of local conditions on sports field performance and design\nWhy solutions must be tailored to specific regions\nHow SPORTENG’s local teams support councils and project delivery\n\nWho should attend: \n\nLocal councils and asset managers\nProject managers and planners\nEngineers\, designers\, and consultants\nAnyone involved in the planning\, design\, or delivery of sports facilities\n\nPresenters: \n \nLucas Skelton – National Field of Play Team Leader\, SPORTENG \n \nJonathan Douglas – NSW Field of Play Consultant\, SPORTENG
