WAX has designed a garden of mass planted indigenous and native Australian plantings to increase biodiversity and reduce water consumption. A series of swales and detention basins have been constructed to redirect storm water and retain up to 90% of the ground water run off, lined with sedges and rushes which also assist in filtering any overflows before entering the water table.
A large productive area of raised vegetable gardens and fruit trees (watered by a grey water system) assists in their sustainability with waste reduction through a compost system.
