COMMISSIONER ROBERTS | SYDNEY, 28 JANUARY 2015 |
Application for approval of the Bidvest Logistics Melbourne Distribution - Enterprise Agreement 2014.
[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Bidvest Logistics Melbourne Distribution - Enterprise Agreement 2014 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Bidvest (Victoria) Pty Ltd T/A Bidvest Melbourne Logistics (the Company). The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.
[2] The Agreement was not lodged within 14 days after it was made. Pursuant to s.185(3)(b) of the Act I consider it fair to extend the time for making this application to the actual date of lodgement.

Pursuant to s.190 of the Act, I accept the Company’s undertaking. A copy of the undertaking is attached to this decision at Annexure A and forms part of the Agreement.
[4] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as is relevant to this application for approval has been met.
[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 wishes to be covered by the Agreement. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers that organisation.
The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 4 February 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 August 2016.
