Most Australians will lose an hour of sleep but gain – in theory – warmer weather, as clocks move forward for daylight saving.
At 2am local time on Sunday, Victoria, NSW, Tasmania, South Australia, and the ACT will fast forward to 3am.
Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not observe daylight saving and the sunshine state is the only jurisdiction on the east coast that does not change time.
There have been renewed calls for another vote on daylight saving in Queensland, however, in February state government minister Yvette D’Ath rejected the idea.
At the time she said the issue was not a focus after a suggested referendum by the Brisbane lord mayor.
“We have listened to the people Queensland who have previously said they do not want daylight savings,” Ms D’Ath previously said.
Daylight saving ends when clocks are turned back one hour on the first Sunday of April.
