Stratacell provides welcoming green entrance at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre Located in sunny Queensland, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre is the largest shopping centre in the western suburbs of Brisbane. In 2014, Eureka Funds Management led a revamp of the centre – including a new outdoor plaza area. Nathan Clausen, Associate & Partner at pdt Landscape Architects, said, “The main outdoor plaza area beside the shopping centre was going to be fully paved. In our designs, we wanted to include trees in the pavement to soften the hardscape and also provide visual cues around the entries to the centre. We were concerned about how the trees would cope, knowing that trees planted in paved areas have limited growing capacity due to soil compaction. “Thankfully, we discovered Citygreen’s Stratacell system. We knew that it would give the trees a major advantage, enabling them to achieve optimum growth in a quicker timeframe. 540 Stratacells were placed under the pavement, providing adequate uncompacted and aerated soil for ten Kauri Pines (Agathis Robusta).
