Growers and advisers in the Western Region have raised concerns about nitrogen management, identifying it as a critical issue in multiple stakeholder forums. Feedback has highlighted the need for effective strategies that allow growers to optimise nitrogen use, reduce costs, and minimise environmental impact, all tailored to their specific farming systems, soil types, and environmental conditions. This project aims to address these challenges by optimising nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in the Geraldton Port Zone, with the goal of improving both economic viability and environmental sustainability in farming practices. Building on similar projects in the Western Region, the initiative will focus on developing practical, evidence-based guidelines to support informed decision-making regarding nitrogen use. It will draw on data and insights from previous and current industry and GRDC-led projects, expanding through the collection of new data from existing and additional trial sites. The findings from these trials will inform the creation of clear, actionable guidelines to help growers optimise nitrogen use, adapt to seasonal variations, and correctly use monitoring tools for informed decision-making on nitrogen application. Ultimately, the goal is to reduce nitrogen-related costs, enhance nitrogen efficiency, and improve farm productivity, all while considering environmental sustainability, particularly regarding nitrogen losses and fertiliser use. To ensure effective adoption, the project will include targeted extension activities to communicate the findings and support growers in implementing these practices, ultimately leading to improved NUE.

What these values mean

Each amount is the reported full contract value, including GST where applicable, in nominal Australian dollars. It covers the reported contract period. It is not annual expenditure, cash paid, all government spending or spending in a supplier’s local area. Unexercised future options are not necessarily included.

This snapshot includes every notice in 82 consecutive weekly exports, covering 2 March 2025 to 26 September 2026, retrieved 1 October 2026 (UTC date). AusTender lists only about eighteen months of exports, so weeks before 23 March 2025 are kept from our earlier downloads. Each contract contributes its latest observed version once. Earlier versions remain available in its history; values of successive amendments are never added together. Date filters use that latest observation’s publication date, including amendments, not the contract start date.

Weekly files describe information at extraction. Later corrections, cancelled notices, or contracts with no publication in this archive may be absent. This is not the entire historical AusTender register. Some source timestamps fall just outside their file’s labelled week; their reported dates are retained. Three malformed observations have shifted columns; affected supplier/category fields are marked unavailable. Source dates in 1900 or end dates in the next century are flagged, not interpreted as ordinary durations.

Supplier grouping uses reported ABNs with a valid checksum; it is not independent verification against the business register. Missing or invalid ABNs remain separate by contract. Equal names do not establish equal legal entities. A contract award is not evidence of wrongdoing.
