<P> Starting in 1909 , the Honourable Sir Thomas Kay Sidey annually put forward a bill to advance the clocks an hour from September to the following March and The Summer Time Act 1927 succeeded : first Sunday in November to the first Sunday in March . This proved unpopular so The Summer Time Act 1928 revised this to a half - hour shift from 14 October 1928 ( second Sunday ) to 17 March 1929 ( third Sunday ) , then The Summer Time Act 1929 fixed this half - hour shift to run from the second Sunday in October to the third Sunday in March . In 1933 , the period was extended from the first Sunday in September to the last Sunday in April . This continued until the Second World War , when emergency regulations in 1941 extended daylight saving to cover the whole year with annual re-applications until the Standard Time Act of 1945 made the abandonment of NZMT permanent in 1946 , so that 180 ° becomes the base longitude and what was called NZ Summer Time ( NZST ) became NZ Standard Time . </P>
