Application for approval of the Quality Tyre Sales Pty. Ltd. (Victoria) Single Enterprise Agreement 2013.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Quality Tyre Sales Pty. Ltd. (Victoria) Single Enterprise Agreement 2013 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Bridgestone 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.
