Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman has urged locals to ready their clocks for the conclusion of daylight saving, which is set to end on Sunday 4 April.
Mrs Tuckerman encouraged Goulburn region locals to use the extra time wisely, by undertaking essential household maintenance in preparation for the year ahead.
“I urge households across the electorate to use the time wisely by replacing batteries in household smoke alarms and cleaning heaters before they boot up for the winter months.”
Daylight saving ends officially at 3am on Sunday, 4 April, when clocks go back an hour to 2am. Most internet connected devices will update automatically, but for manual clocks don’t forget to make the adjustment before turning in on Easter Saturday.
“The return to standard time will enable early risers, morning joggers, dog walkers and shift workers to make the most of natural light as the days shorten with the change of season,” Attorney General Mark Speakman said.
Daylight saving starts on the first Sunday in October and finishes on the first Sunday in April. Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the ACT will also be resetting their clocks whether it is done manually or automatically.
There is no change to the time in Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory where daylight saving time is not observed.
Daylight Saving Time is legislated in NSW under the Standard Time Act 1987 and applies to the whole of the state (with Broken Hill and Lord Howe Island in different time zones).
