MICK Gentleman is reminding Canberrans that daylight saving ends this weekend on Sunday 3 April 2016 at 2 am.
“Before going to bed on Saturday night, people should wind their clocks back by one hour. I am sure many will take advantage of that extra hour of sleep,” Mick said.
“Daylight saving starts on the first Sunday in October and ends on the first Sunday in April. All other Australians jurisdictions who participate in daylight saving will also revert on Sunday 3 April 2016.
“The end of daylight saving is also a good time for residents to change the batteries in their household smoke alarms.
“Smoke alarms are a critical home safety device and I would urge householders not to become complacent and make sure their alarms are in good working order,” Minister Gentleman concluded.
