SUNBURY BUS SERVICE & SUNBURY COACHES ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2016

Passenger vehicle transport (non rail) industry
COMMISSIONER HARPER-GREENWELL	MELBOURNE, 20 MARCH 2017

Application for approval of the Sunbury Bus Service & Sunbury Coaches Enterprise Agreement 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Sunbury Bus Service & Sunbury Coaches Enterprise Agreement 2016 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Donric Pty. Ltd. T/A Sunbury Bus Service / Sunbury Coaches. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] 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. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

[3] 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.

[4] The Transport Workers’ Union of Australia, 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 was approved on 20 March 2017 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 27 March 2017. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2019.
