This jogged my memory. I went to a soil conference a few weeks ago, one of the speakers was the lead soil consultant on this project, where the soil was manufactured from crushed sandstone with a small amount of composted green waste: https://sesl.com.au/projects/barangaroo-headland-park/
In formulating the appropriate soil recipe, he trialed mycorrhizal fungi - there was no difference. But this was a very different flora than what we have in UK gardens. The native plant species required very low fertility and getting the balance right was a meticulous process of trial and error on controlled test plots.
