Key principles of Indigenous Knowledge, collaborative design, and permaculture underpin Australia’s first native rooftop garden. South Eveleigh Community Rooftop Garden is located on the fourth floor of a new community building in an inner city neighbourhood in Sydney. The neighbourhood is has a long history of industrial use and is currently undergoing urban redevelopment. It also has a long and sustained connection with Sydney’s Indigenous community. After a high initial cost projection for a conventional rooftop garden, the developer looked for more cost-efficient solutions and began to consider the social and cultural benefits of creating a native edible garden. he garden delivers an array of ecological, educational, and other social benefits and displays Indigenous Knowledge in a contemporary application. The garden addresses social disadvantage through its diverse and inclusive programs that promote Aboriginal cultural heritage and engage the local Aboriginal community through employment and training.
