Cool Spaces in the District Council of Yankalilla
As temperatures rise, the District Council of Yankalilla is reminding residents and visitors that there are welcoming, air-conditioned Cool Spaces available across the district to help people stay safe and comfortable during hot weather.
Cool Spaces are public facilities that provide relief from the heat, offering a place to rest, cool down, rehydrate and connect with others. They are particularly important for older people, young children, people with health conditions and anyone without access to reliable cooling at home.
Yankalilla Library – a welcoming place to cool down
The Yankalilla Library is available as a Cool Space during opening hours. The library offers a comfortable, air-conditioned environment with seating, access to drinking water, reading materials and free Wi-Fi.
Visitors are welcome to spend time reading, using library resources or simply enjoying a cooler environment during hot days. Library staff are also available to assist with information and support.
Fleurieu Coast Visitor Centre as a Cool Space
The district’s Fleurieu Coast Visitor Centre also plays an important role as a Cool Space for both residents and visitors exploring the region.
The Centre provides:
- Air-conditioned indoor spaces
- Seating and rest areas
- Free Wi-Fi
- Access to water
- Local information and assistance
They offer a safe and comfortable place to take a break from the heat while travelling or spending time outdoors in the district.
Staying safe during hot weather
Council encourages everyone to plan ahead during periods of extreme heat by:
- Spending time in air-conditioned spaces where possible
- Drinking plenty of water
- Avoiding strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day
- Checking in on friends, family and neighbours who may be more vulnerable
Knowing where your nearest Cool Space is located can make a real difference on hot days.
