Daylight Saving Task Force

During the initial one-year trial in 1989/90, a Daylight Saving Task Force was appointed to monitor and report community opinions, as well as provide recommendations to the Queensland Government.[1] The task force made five recommendations, of which only two were implemented, these being: the extension of the daylight saving trial for a further two years (1990/91 – 1991/92); and that a statewide referendum be held after the extended daylight saving trial period.[1] The task force had noted that the Brisbane and Moreton regions (south-east Queensland) were "clearly in favour of daylight saving", which led them to the following further recommendation: "that daylight saving be introduced for that part of the State east of 151°East longitude", i.e., that there be a dual time zone arrangement for Queensland.[1]

Daylight saving referendum

After trialling daylight saving in Queensland for a total of three years, a referendum was held on 22 February 1992, with the question: "Are you in favour of daylight saving?"[1] It was defeated with a 54.5% 'no' vote.[3] The referendum result displayed the same distinct trend that the task force had recognised—that public opinion on daylight saving in Queensland is geographically divided, with the 'no' vote strongest in the north and west regional districts, while the 'yes' vote was strongest in the state's metropolitan south-east.[1][4]
