The festive season is well and truly upon us now and I am pleased to see so many people out enjoying our beautiful parks and coastline. I would like to take this opportunity to touch on some of the ways to make summer enjoyable and as safe as possible for all.

Smoking is now banned on all Randwick City beaches and ocean pools. The ban minimises litter and respects the health of everyone sharing outdoor spaces. The same applies to camping in beachside parks or car parks. Police and Council Rangers make regular patrols during summer to move any illegal campervans along.

We’ve had some unusually hot days recently and while they make a great excuse for a swim, such high temperatures can pose serious health risks. Seniors, expectant mothers and very young children are encouraged to stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day and keep hydrated. Randwick Libraries and facilities like DRLC are also perfect places to shelter from the heat.

With only a few more weeks until Christmas I wish you all the best with your preparations and Christmas shopping.
