Application for approval of the Coregas Operations Enterprise Agreement (Wollongong) 2012.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Coregas Operations Enterprise Agreement (Wollongong) 2012 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Coregas Pty Ltd (Coregas). The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] Coregas has provided a written undertaking in relation to the payment of allowances in the Agreement. I am satisfied the undertaking meets my concern. The two bargaining representatives for the employees have also advised me that they support the undertaking made by Coregas.

[3] In accepting the undertaking I have also accepted that it is not likely to either cause financial detriment to an employee or result in substantial changes to the Agreement (s.190(3)). I note that under s.191 of the Act the undertaking is taken to be a term of the Agreement. A copy of the undertaking is attached to the Agreement. I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 26 February 2013. The nominal expiry date is 31 October 2015.
