DEPUTY PRESIDENT COLMAN	MELBOURNE, 30 SEPTEMBER 2019

Application for approval of the Decon Industries Pty Ltd and CEPU Electrical Division Queensland Enterprise Agreement 2018-2019

[1] Decon Industries Pty Ltd has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Decon Industries Pty Ltd and CEPU Electrical Division Queensland Enterprise Agreement 2018-2019 (the Agreement) pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] On the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying statutory declaration, 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.

In accordance with s 201(2) and based on the statutory declaration provided by the organisation, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
