About the time in Nelson
Sunrise today lands at 07:12 and sunset at 06:05 local time, giving 10h 52m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-38.05, 141.02) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Nelson.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Nelson day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 23:00–07:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Around 181 people live in Nelson, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
