Hey everyone, and welcome to the AUSPAN Ag Inform for October.

ESPERANCE SHOW 2023

You know the end of the year isn’t far away when you’re preparing for the Esperance Show. You can catch up with Giles and Dean from the AUSPAN team on stand 63, so if you’re going to be heading to the show, make sure you swing past and say g’day.

46 X 32 X 4M BOWLING GREEN COVER FOR WESTONIA WANDERERS

You’ll also know the end of the year is fast approaching if you’re a bowls player, as the 2023/24 summer season rolls around. Sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves with that one 😉

The Westonia Wanderers have started their season in style, with the recent completion and launch of their new AUSPAN bowling green cover. Standing at 46 x 32 x 4m, this cover now gives the Wanderers the ability to play whether it’s rain, hail, or shine, while also providing the playing surface with sufficient solar protection to extend its life by approximately twice that of an uncovered green.

A particularly interesting feature of this project is the bird-deterrent laser device, which does exactly what it sounds like it does, and helps to keep shiny new buildings protected from damage that can be caused by any unwelcome feathered friends.

If you’re interested in getting one or more of these for your buildings, we’ve included a link below.

32 X 24 X 8.3M CHEMICAL SHED IN RAVENSTHORPE

Now we’re going to head to Esperance, but just before we get there, we’re going to make a stop at Ravensthorpe and this 32 x 24 x 8.3 chemical shed.

40 X 15 X 6.6M HAY SHED IN ESPERANCE

And then just a couple of hours down the road in Esperance, we have a perfectly blue sky and this 40 x 15 x 6.6m hay shed.

64 X 21 X 5.5M ARENA COVER IN MILLENDON

It’s not often we feature a new project that’s close to the city, and by close we mean really close. And it’s a big one too! This 64 x 21 x 5.5m arena cover is located in Millendon which is less than 40 minutes from the Perth CBD. 

CASE STUDY: CJ & PJ HASLEBY & DAUGHTERS

You know how much we love sharing our clients’ stories and this case study that we shared recently is one of our favourites. The original shearing shed, which was built by Jessica Hortsman’s father, was levelled by Tropical Cyclone Seroja. The family wasted no time in reaching out to AUSPAN and this case study tells their story. Just click on the link below to watch the full video.

GOLD COIN BBQ DONATION EVENT FOR TELETHON

Finally, if you’ve been following our socials for the past few months, you may have noticed that each month we hold BBQs and other lunch events at our six different office locations, where we ask each of our team to make a gold coin donation, which is matched by AUSPAN. While all the charities that we support are incredibly special and do an amazing job, we just wanted to highlight our chosen charity for October.

Telethon is a WA institution supporting the welfare of children and young people, as well as funding research into children’s diseases. If you’re not already doing something for Telethon this year, you’ve still got time to put something together, so head over to the Telethon website and get your thinking caps on!

So that’s it for this month’s Inform. We hope you have a successful wrap up to your hay and silage programs, all the best for the rest of the month and we look forward to getting back in touch in November.
