COMMISSIONER RYAN	MELBOURNE, 4 MAY 2015

Application for approval of the Coregas (Thomastown) Pty Ltd and Employees and National Union of Workers Enterprise Agreement 2014 - 2017.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Coregas (Thomastown) Pty Ltd and Employees and National Union of Workers Enterprise Agreement 2014 - 2017 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) and was made by Coregas Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] Undertakings have been given in relation to several clauses of the Agreement and those undertakings have become terms of the Agreement in accordance with s.191(1) of the Act and are appended at Appendix A.

[3] Pursuant to s.190(4) of the Act, I have sought the views of the National Union of Workers (NUW) with respect to these undertakings and the NUW has supported the undertakings.

[4] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. The Applicant requested an extension of time. 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.

[5] The National Union of Workers, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. As required by s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[6] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[7] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54(1), will operate from 11 May 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 3 December 2017.
