DEPUTY PRESIDENT DEAN	CANBERRA, 19 JULY 2021

Application for approval of the Axis Services Group WA Pty Ltd and CEPU (WA) Union Collective Agreement 2021-2023.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Axis Services Group WA Pty Ltd and CEPU (WA) Union Collective Agreement 2021-2023 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia (CEPU). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. The CEPU has provided an explanation for the delay and requested an extension of time. Pursuant to s.185(3)(b) of the Act, I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

[3] 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.

[4] The CEPU, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notices 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 is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 26 July 2021. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 July 2023.
