Manufacturing and associated industries
DEPUTY PRESIDENT GOOLEY	MELBOURNE, 30 SEPTEMBER 2014

Application for approval of the BIC Australia Pty Enterprise Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the BIC Australia Pty Enterprise Agreement 2014 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by BIC Australia Pty Ltd. 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.

[4] The National Union of Workers, 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.

[5] The Agreement was approved on 30 September 2014 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 7 October 2014. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2017.
