Application for approval of the Concrete Genie Pty Ltd (Queens Wharf Project) Union Collective Agreement 2022
An application has been made for approval of a Greenfields agreement known as the Concrete Genie Pty Ltd (Queens Wharf Project) Union Collective Agreement 2022 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (the Act). It has been made by the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union.
The Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Act 2022 (Cth) (Amending Act) made a number of changes to enterprise agreement approval processes in Part 2-4 of the Fair Work Act, that commenced operation on 6 June 2023. The Agreement was made on 8 August 2025. Accordingly, both the genuine agreement and the better off overall test requirements are those applying on and from 6 June 2023.
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.
The Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union 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.
The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 11 September 2025. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 November 2026.
