EPIC ENERGY SA (EESA) ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2014

Oil and gas industry
COMMISSIONER HAMPTON	ADELAIDE, 8 JULY 2014

Application for approval of the Epic Energy SA (EESA) Enterprise Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Epic Energy SA (EESA) Enterprise Agreement 2014 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Epic Energy South Australia Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. In so finding I note that the dispute resolution provision in 44 is broad enough to include disputes about the NES given the other terms of the Agreement.

[3] As the Agreement does not contain a consultation term which meets the requirements of s.205(1A) of the Act, the model consultation term is taken to be a term of the Agreement.

[4] Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services 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) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 15 July 2014. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 December 2016.
