PHP and JS convert same date differently

PHP:

$start_time = '2020-06-23T22:30:00Z';
$timezone = new DateTimeZone("Australia/Sydney");
$date1 = new DateTime($start_time, $timezone);
$result = $date1->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
echo $result; // 2020-06-23 22:30:00

JS (matches what I have set):

var date1 = new Date('2020-06-23T22:30:00Z')
console.log(date1) // Wed Jun 24 2020 08:30:00 GMT+1000 (Australian Eastern Standard Time)

What am I doing wrong here?

Passing the timezone into the DateTime constructor will override the Z flag on your time string. Create the object without the timezone, then set it afterwards:

$date1 = new DateTime($start_time); 

// object(DateTime)(
//   'date' => '2020-06-23 22:30:00.000000',
//   'timezone_type' => 2,
//   'timezone' => 'Z'
// )

 $date1->setTimezone($timezone);
// object(DateTime)(
//   'date' => '2020-06-24 08:30:00.000000',
//   'timezone_type' => 3,
//   'timezone' => 'Australia/Sydney'
// )
