Application for approval of the Greater Geelong Constructions Pty Ltd T/As GGC Rigging & Scaffolding and the CFMEU (Victorian Construction and General Division) Contract Scaffold Enterprise Agreement 2019-2020.

[1] The Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Greater Geelong Constructions Pty Ltd T/As GGC Rigging & Scaffolding and the CFMEU (Victorian Construction and General Division) Contract Scaffold Enterprise Agreement 2019-2020 (the Agreement) pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] On the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying statutory declaration, 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.
