Green roof on Melbourne apartment block
The Fifth Estate

With a whole lot of sweat equity and the help of a grant, the residents of a three-storey 1950s apartment block in St Kilda retrofitted a 646 square metre green roof.
The result is not only improved stormwater management, reduced urban heat island effect and improved insulation for apartments, but also a space that has generated a real sense of community, according to resident Sonia Bednar.
