Challenge
The main challenges were operating in line with the strict COVID conditions and lifting the 8 tonnes of materials in the buckets up to the roof top. One of the biggest challenges was finding the right plants for the salty winds typical for the area.
Solution
150mm of growing media was installed over 40mm Urbanscape® Green Roll and 30mm drainage cell. Automatic irrigation with a rain sensor was installed.
Benefits
The surrounding properties also get a better view due to the beautiful green roof. The area is close to the beach and thus the plants are suitable for salty winds, with the roof providing a colourful display of Australian native plants.
