Clocks will go forward by one hour at 2am on Sunday 27 September. Daylight saving time will continue until Sunday 4 April 2020, when clocks will go back by one hour to NZ Standard Time.
Most New Zealanders should experience a seamless transition, with modern electronic devices adjusting automatically. However, older devices may need to be adjusted manually.
Do not forget it is also a good time to check emergency plans, survival kits and smoke alarms.

In January, he set off to do the Paekākāriki escarpment track, including he section known as the Stairway to Heaven.
Although he was not feeling well, he did not want to let his partner Chantal Lynch down and decided to push on.
Halfway along the track, he suffered a heart attack and stopped breathing. A bystander began doing CPR and after 20 minutes, Duseigneur began to breathe for himself.
In Wellington Hospital he was placed in a coma and he needed surgery to put a stent in his heart. He has made a good recovery, although his memory of that day is not good.

“It only feels like yesterday that I was the youngest,” Barnard jokes with a client. A fortnight ago Barnard moved from the barber shop on Courtenay Place where he spent the last 40 years cutting hair, to Cuba Barbers on Cuba Street.

Five out of 10 public holidays will be Mondayised (or Tuesdayised in one case) next year, which means if you work a standard Monday to Friday week, you can look forward to some extended breaks.
In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.
