let ausCurDateTime = format.format({
       value: new Date(),
       type: format.Type.DATETIMETZ,
       timezone: 'Australia/Sydney'      // Preferred Timezone
 });
log.debug('ausCurDateTime', ausCurDateTime);

const dateParts = ausCurDateTime.split(/\/|\s|:/); // Split the input string into date and time parts
                    let day = dateParts[0];
                    let month = dateParts[1];
                    const year = dateParts[2];
                    let hours = parseInt(dateParts[3]) + (dateParts[5].toLowerCase() === 'pm' ? 12 : 0); // Convert 12-hour format to 24-hour format
                    let minutes = dateParts[4];
                    day = day.toString().padStart(2, '0');
                    month = month.toString().padStart(2, '0');
                    hours = hours.toString().padStart(2, '0');
                    minutes = minutes.toString().padStart(2, '0');
                    // Create a new Date format with the given date and time parts
                    const convertedDate = `${year}-${month}-${day}T${hours}:${minutes}:00+10:00`;  //Preferred Format
