North Melbourne is proud to announce its partnership with Victorian turf supply company, Coolabah Turf.

The collaboration will give back to the community and celebrate the enjoyment of instant luscious lawn.

With a focus on grassroots football, green spaces in schools and the importance of the Aussie backyard, Coolabah Turf also aims to raise awareness of the mental and physical benefits associated with being outdoors.

North chief commercial officer, Sam Bingley, said sometimes the grass is greener on the other side.

“Together, we are promoting active lifestyles, healthy communities and lawns for life,’’ he said.

“It’s an exciting purpose-led partnership that will see our club give back even more to our members and our local communities.

“I think we all felt the pinch of being indoors last year and if it means we can increase and improve the quality of greenspace environments for our kids, our families and communities, then it’s a great result.”

Located in Northern Victoria, Coolabah Turf prides itself on producing sustainable natural turf and instant lawn landscape solutions for residential, council and commercial customers across the state.

“AFL sporting heroes are born in Aussie backyards long before they hit the big time of professional elite level sport,” Coolabah Turf marketing coordinator, Stacey Fraser said.

“We are all about celebrating the great Aussie backyard and grassroots footy in our local communities.”

The world class instant turf production and distribution company is one of the largest producers of turf in Australia and comprises more than 200 hectares and employs 45 people.

“We don’t just sell lawns, we change lives,’’ Fraser said.

‘’Our work enables the creation of quality green spaces, and encourages people to connect with nature, families, friends and the great outdoors to improve and increase health, wellbeing, social interaction and personal and community pride.”
