Daylight savings starts this weekend

Cardinia Shire residents will need to put their clocks forward by one hour this Sunday 4 October at 2am for the start of daylight savings.

Most modern devices, including phones, laptops and cars will automatically adjust the time, however old watches and clocks will need to be changed manually.

Daylight savings will end on Sunday 4 April and residents will be asked to move their clocks backwards by one hour.

The main purpose of Daylight saving time  is to make better use of daylight.
