Launched on Wurundjeri Country at Victoria’s Parliament House, the Burnley Green Roof Plant Guide was developed by the University of Melbourne’s Green Infrastructure Research Group and horticultural experts at the Burnley Campus. It is Australia’s first comprehensive guide to plant selection for green roofs. Supporting cooler, more biodiverse and liveable cities, the guide helps designers, planners and building occupants choose suitable plants for Australian conditions. It includes case studies from the Bendigo Hospital Green Roofs and Melbourne Quarter’s Sky Park, a publicly accessible park elevated around three storeys above street level.
