NSW State Parliament passed new laws in October 2007 providing NSW residents with an extra month of daylight saving from 2008 onwards.

Daylight Saving in NSW will end in 2008 on Sunday 6 April.

Daylight saving for future summers begins at 2 am, Eastern Standard Time, on the first Sunday in October and ends at 3 am summer time on the first Sunday in April. This means that residents in New South Wales have an additional three weeks of daylight saving at the beginning and one week at the end.

The decision to harmonise daylight saving across the south-eastern states and the ACT was made to provide uniformity for business activities conducted across state lines and is consistent with the Council of Australian Governments' focus on reducing regulatory burdens on business.
