The clocks were set ahead of GMT by 8 hours in Western Australia; by 9 hours in South Australia (and the Northern Territory, which it governed); and by 10 hours in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania. The three time zones became known as <i>Western Standard Time</i>, <i>Central Standard Time</i>, and <i>Eastern Standard Time</i>. <a href="/wiki/Broken_Hill" title="Broken Hill">Broken Hill</a> in the far west of New South Wales (strictly speaking, the county of <a href="/wiki/Yancowinna_County" title="Yancowinna County">Yancowinna</a>) also adopted Central Standard Time due to it being connected at the time by rail to <a href="/wiki/Adelaide" title="Adelaide">Adelaide</a> but not <a href="/wiki/Sydney" title="Sydney">Sydney</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-newCST_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-newCST-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In May 1899, in a break with the common international practice of setting one-hour intervals between adjacent time zones, South Australia advanced Central Standard Time by thirty minutes after lobbying by businesses who wanted to be closer to Melbourne time and cricketers and footballers who wanted more daylight to practice in the evenings.<sup id="cite_ref-newCST_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-newCST-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It also meant that South Australia became one of only a few places in the world which uses a time-zone meridian located outside of its geographical boundaries.

1970s</figcaption></figure> <p>The choice of whether to use DST is a matter for the governments of the individual states and territories. However, during World War I and World War II all states and territories used daylight saving time (DST). In 1968 Tasmania became the first state to use DST in peacetime, followed in 1971 by New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and the Australian Capital Territory. Queensland abandoned DST in 1972. Western Australia and the Northern Territory did not adopt it. Queensland and Western Australia have occasionally used DST since then during trial periods. </p><p>The main DST zones are the following: </p> <ul><li>(Australian) Central Daylight Saving Time (ACDT or CDST) – UTC+10:30, in South Australia and Broken Hill, New South Wales</li> <li>(Australian) Eastern Daylight Saving Time (AEDT or EDST) – UTC+11:00, in New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria, and Tasmania</li></ul> <p>During the usual periods of DST, the three standard time zones in Australia become five zones. This includes the areas that do not observe DST: Western Australia (UTC+08:00), the Northern Territory (UTC+09:30), and Queensland (UTC+10:00). </p><p>The change to and from DST takes place at 02:00 local standard time the appropriate Sunday. Until 2008, DST usually began on the last Sunday in October, and ended on the last Sunday in March. However, Tasmania, given its <a href="/wiki/Latitude" title="Latitude">latitude</a> further south, began DST earlier, on the first Sunday in October, and ended it later, on the first Sunday of April. </p><p>On 12 April 2007, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and the ACT agreed to common beginning and ending dates for DST from 2008. DST in these states and South Australia began on the first Sunday in October and ended on the first Sunday in April. Western Australia was then the only state to use DST from the last Sunday in October to the last Sunday in March, but it abolished DST in 2009.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>State/territory</th> <th>Start of DST</th> <th>End of DST </th></tr> <tr> <td>Western Australia</td> <td colspan="2" rowspan="3"><div class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;">N/A</div> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Queensland </td></tr> <tr> <td>Northern Territory </td></tr> <tr> <td>South Australia</td> <td rowspan="6">first Sunday in October</td> <td rowspan="6">first Sunday in April<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </td></tr> <tr> <td>New South Wales </td></tr> <tr> <td>Australian Capital Territory </td></tr> <tr> <td>Jervis Bay Territory </td></tr> <tr> <td>Victoria </td></tr> <tr> <td>Tasmania </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Anomalies">Anomalies</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Time_in_Australia&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Anomalies"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Central_time_zone_sign.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Central_time_zone_sign.jpg/200px-Central_time_zone_sign.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="139" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Central_time_zone_sign.jpg/300px-Central_time_zone_sign.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Central_time_zone_sign.jpg/400px-Central_time_zone_sign.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2004" data-file-height="1394" /></a><figcaption>Road sign near Broken Hill</figcaption></figure> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Yancowinna_NSW.PNG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Yancowinna_NSW.PNG/200px-Yancowinna_NSW.PNG" decoding="async" width="200" height="163" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Yancowinna_NSW.PNG/300px-Yancowinna_NSW.PNG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Yancowinna_NSW.PNG 2x" data-file-width="350" data-file-height="286" /></a><figcaption>Yancowinna County in New South Wales</figcaption></figure> <p>Unlike the rest of New South Wales, <a href="/wiki/Broken_Hill" title="Broken Hill">Broken Hill</a> and the surrounding region (<a href="/wiki/Yancowinna_County" title="Yancowinna County">Yancowinna County</a>) observes Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+09:30), a time zone it shares with nearby South Australia and the Northern Territory.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Heron_Island_(Queensland)" title="Heron Island (Queensland)">Heron Island</a>, 72 km (45 mi) off the coast off Gladstone in Queensland, has two time zones: the island resort follows DST all year round, whereas the <a href="/wiki/Heron_Island_Research_Station" title="Heron Island Research Station">Marine Research Centre and the Parks and Wildlife office</a> on the island remain on Eastern Standard Time.

In the case of business activities, a national time can be used. For example, a <a href="/wiki/Prospectus_(finance)" title="Prospectus (finance)">prospectus</a> for the issue of stock in a company would usually set the closing time for offers at some location (e.g. Sydney) as the time when offers must be received, regardless of the source of the offer. Similarly, tenders for their sale of stock usually set out the time at a given location by which they must be received to be considered. Another example is the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Securities_Exchange" title="Australian Securities Exchange">Australian Securities Exchange</a> which operates on Sydney time.<sup id="cite_ref-asx-hours_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-asx-hours-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On the other hand, Federal legislation yields to state-regulated standard times in many diverse situations.

Also, documents to be filed in a <a href="/wiki/Federal_Court_of_Australia" title="Federal Court of Australia">Federal Court</a> may be filed based on the local time.
