Application for approval of the BHP Petroleum Western Australian Operations Agreement 2018.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the BHP Petroleum Western Australian Operations Agreement 2018 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by BHP Billiton Petroleum Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
