I think the link you gave points to Patrick Blanc's house in Paris not one of his projects in Sydney. Water use might not be as high as you think. I cannot find details of this design but many of his projects are watered by systems that use locally collected water. Also he makes a point of choosing plants that suit the site which is always a plus, compared to those who want to grow lawns in the desert.
