SOURCE: http://wa.gov.au/daylightsaving   Daylight Saving Information Daylight saving was introduced in Western Australia for a three-year trial period starting December 2006. The three-year trial gives Western Australians an opportunity to “try before they buy”. A referendum will be held in 2009 to decide whether it should become permanent. In 2008, daylight saving will begin at 2am Western Standard Time on the last Sunday in October, and end at 2am Western Standard Time (3am summer time) on the last Sunday in March the following year. This means that WA businesses will no longer be separated from their eastern states counterparts by an additional hour during summer. Note: From 30 March 2008 to 6 April 2008 Western Australia will be 3 hours behind Victoria, Tasmania, ACT and New South Wales, and 2.5 hours behind South Australia. This is due to these states concluding daylight saving 1 week after Western Australia. From 6 April 2008 Western Australia will revert to being 2 hours behind Victoria, Tasmania, ACT and New South Wales, and 1.5 hours behind South Australia. The Community Access Line 9222 9449 or Toll Free 1800 198 274 (country callers only) can provide daylight saving information to people who do not have access to the Internet.
