Geographic context
Where this clock belongs
The map marks the IANA reference location and associated country, not a time-zone boundary.
GPS reference: 36.87° S, 174.77° E. Associated countries: NZ.
The Wikipedia link provides additional context; it is not evidence for a historical claim. Transition data comes from the IANA source file.
Notes from the time database
The story behind the clock
These source notes describe a period or rule. They do not, by themselves, establish a causal claim for a particular clock change.
Since 1957 Chatham has been 45 minutes ahead of NZ, but until 2018a there was no documented single notation for the date and time of this transition. Duplicate the Rule lines for now, to give the 2018a change time to percolate out.
Original IANA source file: australasia.
