COMMISSIONER RYAN	MELBOURNE, 23 SEPTEMBER 2014

Application for approval of the Ackland View Pty Ltd and the AMWU (Altona Area) Agreement 2014-2017.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Ackland View Pty Ltd and the AMWU (Altona Area) Agreement 2014-2017 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) and was made by Ackland View Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[3] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. The Applicant requested an extension of time. Pursuant to s.185(3)(b), in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

[4] The “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU), being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. As required by s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54(1), will operate from 30 September 2014. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2017.
