The inclusion of trees for shade and aesthetics at RNA Showground’s Ekka Plaza in Brisbane was critical, but high rock shelves and service infrastructures prevented broad expanses of deep plantings.
Citygreen’s Stratacell system was used to provide sufficient soil volume and stormwater irrigation. Matthew Nolan, associate director and landscape architect at Lat27, which worked on the project, said, “Two years down the track, the use of Stratacells has achieved good health for the trees, while surrounding pavements have remained completely stable through multiple events.” citygreen.com/products/structural-cells/stratacell
