DECISION

Fair Work Act 2009

s.512 - Application for a right of entry permit

Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union-Construction and General Division, Victoria-Tasmania Divisional Branch

(RE2019/374)

DEPUTY PRESIDENT GOSTENCNIK MELBOURNE, 13 DECEMBER 2022

Application for extension of right of entry permit of Mark Alan Travers

1. On 24 August 2022 the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU) applied under s.512 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for an entry permit to be issued to Mark Alan Travers, an Organiser employed by the CFMMEU. On 14 September 2022 the CFMMEU also applied under s.516 of the Act for Mr Travers’s current entry permit to be extended, pending the determination of the s.512 application.

1. Mr Travers’s current entry permit was due to expire on 24 September 2022. I ordered that the entry permit period be extended to 15 December 2022.[1]

1. Presently, the s.512 application is still being considered and a further extension period for the entry permit is necessary in the circumstances where a decision is unlikely to be handed down prior to the expiry date of 15 December 2022.

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 Travers (RE2019/374) until 28 February 2023.

1. An order giving effect to this decision is separately issued in PR748875.
