[1]        An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the

FDC Construction & Fitout Pty Limited / CFMEU Collective Agreement 2016-2017 (the

a single enterprise agreement.

[2]        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 Agreement does not cover all of the

(3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

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
