Perth is the capital and largest city of the Australian state of Western Australia. It is the fourth-most populous city in Australia. Perth is part of the South West Land Division of Western Australia, with the majority of the metropolitan area of Perth located on the Swan Coastal Plain, a narrow strip between the Indian Ocean and the Darling Scarp, a low coastal escarpment. The first areas settled were on the Swan River, with the city's central business district and port (Fremantle) both located on its shores. The Perth Metropolitan Region includes 30 local government areas, which themselves consist of a large number of suburbs, extending from Two Rocks in the north to Rockingham in the south, and east inland to The Lakes.

Time zone in Perth

If you need the offset: Perth is on AWST, 8 hours ahead of UTC, i.e. UTC+08:00. The matching IANA zone is Australia/Perth.

There is no daylight saving in Perth. UTC+08:00 applies all year, so the offset never moves on this side — only the other party's clock changes.

Across Australia there are 7 distinct time zones among these 50 cities, so "local time" there depends entirely on which city you mean.
