Bowranda Patio Roof
The Bowranda can be installed as a roof only or the inishing touches added
with Roller blinds in, sunscreen mesh fabric or clear or tinted PVC providing the
protection that you require from sun, wind, rain and UV.
The Bowranda patio roof is constructed of powder coated aluminium and stainless
steel ixings to ensure it will withstand coastal conditions.
Eliminates 99% of UV whilst maintaining ambient light.
This is important as it provides protection from the sun without darkening the area,
including the adjacent interior.
The square proile of the roof line provides a pleasing aesthetic as it conforms to the
lineal nature of residential architecture.

SPCA wants animal ambulance drivers
RICHARD MAYS
A Manawatū after-hours animal
emergency ambulance service is
running on empty due to a lack of
volunteer drivers.
The Manawatū SPCA operates
two ambulance vehicles to help
sick and injured animals that
require immediate veterinary
assistance.
However, Palmerston North
centre manager Katie Pedersen
said the SPCA had been operating
on minimal volunteer ambulance
staff through the winter.
She said too few drivers on the
roster increased the chance of vol-
unteer burn-out, meaning more
stress on the remaining drivers

the service.

$300,000 station for railway attraction
RICHARD MAYS
A $300,000 Esplanade Scenic Rail-
way station will provide new
focus for the southern precinct of
the Victoria Esplanade.
A landscaped and extended car
park will complement the new
retro-styled building and minia-
ture railway platform, with demo-
lition of the 48-year-old existing
station and its platform scheduled
for March 2018.
‘‘There is a real excitement at
council about this project,’’ city
mayor and miniature railway
patron Grant Smith said.
At the official naming of the
railway’s engine shed on Friday,
which will now be called the Loco-

tenance Depot - or ‘‘the Depot’’,
Smith described the attraction as
the jewel in the crown of the
Esplanade.
He said about 260,000 people
visited the Esplanade every year,
and those numbers would
increase when the Wildbase
