The City of Melbourne's Green Roofs, Walls and Facades page is a comprehensive resource for designing vertical greening and rooftop systems. It explains how green infrastructure cools urban heat islands, reduces stormwater runoff, and insulates buildings whilst supporting biodiversity. The page covers three categories: extensive and intensive green roofs, rooftop gardens, and green walls or facades. It provides technical resources including the Growing Green Guide, Guidelines for Biodiversity Green Roofs, and plant selection lists by growing conditions. It also offers guidance on planning permits, building regulations, and owners corporation permissions required in Melbourne, plus native plant options and links to additional sustainable urban greening resources.
