A skyscraper distinguished by being covered in greenery has been declared unsafe for that reason.
Sydney's One Central Park building, which is adorned by vertical gardens, has 'serious defects' that pose a 'risk of death or serious injury' to pedestrians because its external planter boxes fail to meet building standards, NSW Fair Trading said.
The building in the inner Sydney suburb of Chippendale is owned by Frasers Property, which was served with a building rectification order by Building Commission NSW director Matt Press on January 16.
Sydney's One Central Park building is distinctive for its external greenery but that feature is also the reason for serious safety concerns
This followed an emergency order issued on December 11 after the property was inspected on December 6.
A temporary rope support system has been put in to support the planter boxes.
