Here is an official Australia government web link to confirm that 
Norfolk Island will change the country’s Standard Variation
from +1130 to +1100:
"The Norfolk Island Standard Time Ordinance 2015 sets the Standard Time 
for Norfolk Island from Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC) +11.5 to UTC 
+11.  "
https://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2015L01483/Explanatory%20Statement/Text

Norfolk Island Standard Time Ordinance 2015 - F2015L01483
Ordinance No. 6 , 2015
Issued by the authority of the Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and 
Regional Development
Norfolk Island Act 1979
Norfolk Island Standard Time Ordinance 2015
Norfolk Island Continued Laws Amendment (Standard Time) Ordinance 2015


The Norfolk Island Continued Laws Amendment (Standard Time) Ordinance 
2015 amends the Norfolk Island Continued Laws Amendment Ordinance 2015 
to repeal the Standard Time and
Daylight Saving Act 1974 (NI); the previous time setting enactment for 
Norfolk Island.
This Ordinance amends the title of the Norfolk Island Continued Laws 
Amendment Ordinance 2015 to Norfolk Island Continued Laws Ordinance 2015 
to better match naming conventions.

The Ordinances provide benefits for the local business community by 
aligning Norfolk Island with its major trading and tourism markets on 
the east coast of Australia.
UTC +11.5 is a unique time zone and the change to UTC +11 resolves 
technical issues with electronic equipment experienced by people living 
on Norfolk Island.
The UTC +11 is also a more geographically appropriate time zone for 
Norfolk Island.

It seems that time zone change will take place at 12.30 am (by legal 
time in New South Wales) on 4 October 2015.
