Then again others including dairy farmers may not be so happy, as their mornings begin in darkness.

But either way, you will have to move your clocks forward one hour when daylight saving begins at 2am on Sunday, October 1.

Daylight saving ends in NSW on Sunday, April 1, 2018, when clocks go back one hour at 3am.

Daylight saving for all future summers in New South Wales begins at 2am on the first Sunday in October and ends at 3am on the first Sunday in April.

The same period of daylight saving is observed in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT. Daylight saving is not observed in Queensland, Western Australia or the Northern Territory.​

According to the NSW Justice website, daylight saving operated nationally during World War I from January 1, 1917 to March 25, 1917 and during World War II for three summers, beginning on January 1, 1942.

Daylight saving was introduced again in New South Wales on October 31, 1971 after the Standard Time Act 1971 was passed by the New South Wales Parliament.

A referendum held on May 1, 1976 submitted a proposal that daylight saving be adopted on a permanent basis. The ballot paper stated:

At present there is a period commonly called 'daylight saving' by which time is advanced by one hour for the period commencing on the last Sunday in October in each year and ending on the first Sunday in March in the following year. 

Electors were then asked to answer 'yes' or 'no' to the question: Are you in favour of daylight saving? 1,882,770 electors were in favour; 868,900 were against and 35,507 votes were informal.
