COMMISSIONER GREGORY	MELBOURNE, 17 JANUARY 2017

Application for approval of the BACCHUS MARSH COACHES ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the BACCHUS MARSH COACHES ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2016 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Bacchus Marsh Coaches Pty Ltd T/A Bacchus Marsh Coaches. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 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. 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.

[5] The Transport Workers Union of Australia being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[6] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 24 January 2017. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 March 2019.
