1 Elizabeth is proud to have its landscaping be largely comprised of native plants, featuring 48 different species throughout the building.
The importance of maintaining a connection to Country is a key design principle that has informed 1 Elizabeth's landscaping strategy, and selection of the plants was finalised through collaboration and consultation with landscapers including Aspect Studios and Yerrabingin.
What was initially an aspiration became reality through investigative trials and testing, considered species selection and active maintenance.

Built for today, constructed for the future, the sustainability of 1 Elizabeth has been actively considered and embedded into the building's design.
