Legislative Council Second ReadingLCBill 8321 September 2023Private Member
The Daylight Saving Bill 2023 proposes a referendum on daylight saving throughout Western Australia. If a majority votes in favour, standard time will be advanced by one hour from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April each year, starting in 2025.
Impact
This bill affects all Western Australian residents and businesses. A 'yes' vote would change daily routines and potentially impact trading hours, work schedules, and school operations. A 'no' vote would maintain the current standard time.
Key Changes
["Introduces a referendum on daylight saving.", "Mandates the referendum to be held on the same day as the next state election.", "If the referendum passes, implements daylight saving time annually from October to April."]
