Fair Work Act 2009

s.516—Right of entry

Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union

(RE2024/367)

DEPUTY PRESIDENT GOSTENCNIK MELBOURNE, 16 APRIL 2024

Application for extension of right of entry permit of Gerald McCrudden

1. On 15 March 2024, the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) applied under s.512 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for an entry permit to be issued to Gerald McCrudden, an Organiser employed by the CFMEU. On 12 April 2024, the CFMEU also applied under s.516 of the Act for Mr McCrudden’s current entry permit to be extended, pending the determination of the s.512 application.

1. Mr McCrudden’s current entry permit is due to expire on 16 April 2024. Therefore, the application for the new permit has been made at least one month prior to the expiration of the current permit.

1. I am satisfied that the requirements set out in ss.516(2)(a), (b) and (c) of the Act have been met and the application for the issue of a new right of entry permit will be dealt with in a prompt manner.

1. Accordingly, I grant an extension to the expiry date of the right of entry permit of Mr McCrudden (RE2021/236) until 29 April 2024.

1. An order giving effect to this decision is separately issued in PR773573.
