Application for approval of the Edma Agencies Pty Ltd AMWU On-site Construction Collective Agreement for New South Wales 2015 - 2018.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Edma Agencies Pty Ltd AMWU On-site Construction Collective Agreement for New South Wales 2015-2018 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Edma Agencies Pty Ltd T/A Wexford Welding. 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.
