Labour Day falls on the first Monday of March in Western Australia and on the second Monday of March in Victoria and Tasmania. New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the ACT do not hold a Labour Day public holiday in March at all, so the long weekend applies only in the three states that observe it on these dates.
Meetings, project check-ins and mid-week deadlines cluster on Wednesday in most Australian workplaces running a standard five-day week. 7 March 2029 falls on this day, three working days into its week and two working days from the weekend, a common point for reviewing progress against weekly targets before the final push toward Friday.
2029 has 365 days on the calendar. Leap years add a single extra day to February, giving those years 366 days instead of 365 and shifting the day-of-year number for every date from March onward by one compared with an ordinary year. This is the only irregularity in the length of the Australian calendar year.
