Norfolk Daylight Time (NFDT) operates at UTC+12 and is observed during the summer months on Norfolk Island, an external territory of Australia. NFDT is the daylight saving time alternative to Norfolk Time (NFT), which is UTC+11 during the rest of the year. Sometimes simply referred to as "Norfolk Island Daylight Time," NFDT provides extended evening daylight for the island community.
Importance and Global Use of NFDT
Norfolk Daylight Time (NFDT) supports local tourism, business, and recreational activities by shifting daylight hours to the evening during the island's summer period. This helps residents and visitors enjoy more daylight after work or school, benefiting hospitality, outdoor events, and local businesses. The clear seasonal time change also assists with public administration and transport planning.
Internationally, NFDT helps synchronize Norfolk Island with daylight saving regions on mainland Australia, such as New South Wales and Victoria. This alignment simplifies air travel, shipping schedules, and communications between the island and Australia's east coast, strengthening trade, emergency services, and regional cooperation in the Pacific.
