DECISION

Fair Work Act 2009

s.516 - Application to extend entry permit

Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union

(RE2017/1125)

Deputy President Gostencnik MELBOURNE, 9 OCTOBER 2017

Application for extension of right of entry permit for Kenneth Charles Miller.

1. On 12 September 2017 the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) applied to the Fair Work Commission (Commission) under s.512 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for the issue of a right of entry permit to its official, Mr. Kenneth Charles Miller (Mr Miller) (RE2017/1118). The CFMEU have also applied to the Commission under s.516 of the Act for Mr Miller’s old permit to be extended, pending the determination of the s.512 application.

1. The application for the new permit was made on 12 September 2017, which is at least one month prior to the expiration of Mr Miller’s old 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 Miller (RE2014/820) until the application filed by the CFMEU on 12 September 2017 for a new permit is heard and determined.

1. An order giving effect to this decision is separately issued in PR596639.
