A feature of the building are the roof lanterns to be seen thrusting out above the roof. These are a form of skylight with windows that can open to allow excessive heat to clear from the building as well as increasing light to the interior. .

Senior Sergeant Jared Kirk, Team Leader for Road Policing in Otago says Police will have a visible and active presence on Otago roads during Labour Weekend, focusing on high-risk behaviour through prevention and enforcement.
“We’ll be targeting known hot spots and risky behaviours such as speed enforcement, drug and alcohol testing, cell phone use, and seatbelt checks. We know these are the four main behaviours which contribute to death and serious injury on our roads, and these are what we address when we interact with people and share road safety messages.
“If you’re driving slowly or towing, check your mirrors and regularly pull over to let other vehicles pass. Impeding the flow of traffic can cause other drivers frustration and contribute to them making risky decisions.”

Here are some tips to make sure you and your loved ones are well prepared and stay safe:
1. Check the marine weather forecast before you go out, it could save your life! 58% of boaties already check it. We want the other 42% to make it a habit. MetService New Zealand's Marine App makes it easy.
2. Tests your life jackets. Pull hard on the straps and see if any of them stretch or rip. Check all over for any existing tears in the straps and any cuts or punctures in the life jacket. If yes, do not use the life jacket, dispose of it, and replace it. Always check if it floats before putting them on. Keep in mind kapok life jackets should not be used as they can absorb water and sink, their cotton straps also easily rip! Burn them or bin them, but whatever you do - don't use or resell them.
3. For this year's Safer Boating Week, boaties are being reminded to “Prep, Check, Know” - prepare your boat, check your gear and know the rules before going on the water.
Let's put in the time and effort to make sure there are NO water related accidents or deaths this Labour Day long-weekend! Don't forget to look out for each other and report any concerns you have to local authorities.
