Does the gap change during the year?
Yes, because of daylight saving. Until 4 Apr 2027: WAT is 10 h behind AEST. From 4 Apr 2027 to 3 Oct 2027: WAT is 9 h behind AEST. From 3 Oct 2027 to 2 Apr 2028: WAT is 10 h behind AEST.
AEST next changes its clocks on 4 Apr 2027 (back 1 h, to UTC+10), then on 3 Oct 2027 (forward 1 h, to UTC+11). WAT does not change its clocks.
