COMMISSIONER ROE	MELBOURNE, 11 APRIL 2017

Application for approval of the Essential Energy Far West (Electricity) Enterprise Agreement 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Essential Energy Far West (Electricity) 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 Essential Energy. 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 Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union and the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have given notice under s.183 of the Act that they want the Agreement to cover them. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers these organisations.

[4] The Agreement was approved on 11 April 2017 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 18 April 2017. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2018.
