A public rooftop car park has transformed into a urban farm in the Melbourne CBD.
Works on Skyfarm, formerly a 2000 square metre rooftop car park, are expected to continue for another 12 months.
When complete it will feature sustainable and contemporary hospitality sites, environmental education as well as business conference facilities and event spaces.
It will have the capacity to produce more than five tonnes of fresh produce each year, much of which will be donated to food charity OzHarvest.
Melbourne Skyfarm is the brainchild of a group of leading Melbourne-based sustainability companies including urban farming company Biofilta, The Sustainable Landscape Company and nature regeneration and protection group Odonata.
They have received support from the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and City of Melbourne Urban Forest Fund.
