About AWST

Australian Western Standard Time (AWST) is UTC+8. It is used in Perth and Western Australia.

Australian Western Standard Time is UTC+8 and Western Australia does not observe daylight saving — it has rejected it in four referendums, most recently in 2009. Perth therefore keeps the same offset all year while Sydney moves, so the gap between Australia's two largest business centres is two hours in winter and three in summer.

About NZDT

New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT) is UTC+13. It is used in New Zealand from late September to early April.

New Zealand Daylight Time is UTC+13, one of the few offsets past twelve hours and therefore a full calendar day ahead of most of the Americas. New Zealand's summer is the northern hemisphere's winter, so NZDT applies over Christmas — the opposite of every northern daylight-saving abbreviation, and a common mistake in end-of-year scheduling.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither AWST nor NZDT shifts with the seasons, so this 5-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.

This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
