Application for approval of the Benalla Rural City Council Enterprise Agreement 2024

1. An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Benalla Rural City Council Enterprise Agreement 2024 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Benalla Rural City Council. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

1. I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188, 193 and 193A as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

1. The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation, The Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union, and The Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia, each being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, have each 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 each organisation.
