As the temperature rises across the state, look after yourself and others. ☀️

Severe heat and heatwaves, which are three or more days of high maximum temperatures, can be deadly. 🥵

To keep safe and cool, remember to:
💧 drink 2 to 3 litres of water a day at regular intervals
📱 check in on loved ones regularly (especially the elderly and pregnant women)
🏃 avoid heavy exercise during the hottest parts of the day
🌬️ seek air conditioning, or stay in a cool environment
😎 slip, slop, slap, seek and slide if you're spending time outside.

If you or anyone else shows signs of heat-related illness, call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) for advice, or visit your doctor. If it is an emergency, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

🐿️ A brand new playground has landed in Morayfield! 🌳✨

Say hello to Glider Park! The very first park in Kinma Valley and a stunning new space for local families to explore, opening officially on Nov 22nd.

Think soaring slides, nature-inspired play, shaded picnic spots, a half basketball court, and a dry creek bed made for adventure. Every detail celebrates the beauty and stories of Kabi Kabi Country, with art and design inspired by the sugar glider itself.

To celebrate, there will be a free family event on Saturday 22 November with live music, a traditional welcome and dance, face painting, and a sausage sizzle by Carmichael College.

Bring the kids, pack a picnic, and be among the first to play!
