SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT WATSON	MELBOURNE, 19 JULY 2013

Application for approval of the CFMEU and The Engineering Company Pty Ltd Mobile Crane Hiring Enterprise Agreement 2013.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the CFMEU and The Engineering Company Pty Ltd Mobile Crane Hiring Enterprise Agreement 2013 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU). The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. Pursuant to s.185(3)(b), in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

[3] 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.

[4] The CFMEU 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.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 26 July 2013. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 January 2014.
