[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Bis Murrin Murrin Enterprise Agreement 2019 (the Agreement).

[2] The Employer has provided written undertakings. A copy of the undertakings is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement.
