(3) The replacement of the synthetic surface will be put out to tender requesting a safe high performing surface. Tenderers will be required to specify the type of infill crumb proposed and will be required to certify through testing that it is nontoxic. Material Safety Data sheets will be developed for the product.
(4) Organic material is still being experimented with in Australia. A requirement is for it to be kept moist with the use of water cannons which precludes it from open parkland settings. Industry feedback has indicated that the organic infill compound breaks down quickly and there is additional cost of continual replacement due to it being light weight and subject to washing and blowing away. Another down side to its use is that it compacts and allows the incursion of weeds and other foreign material.
(5) TCCS will engage in a due diligence process with synthetic turf experts to ensure best practice environmental industry standards and objectives are met by adopting new technologies and satisfying community needs.
