JUSTICE BOULTON, SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT	MELBOURNE, 9 APRIL 2013

[1] At the conclusion of the Mention, Programming and Conference proceedings today, I advised the parties that those parts of the review of the General Retail Industry Award 2010 which are before me would proceed as follows:

• The review will be listed for Conference in Melbourne on 13 May 2013. The parties should identify which aspects of their applications before me are still required to be dealt with, and forward this in writing to by chambers by 4:00 pm, 9 May 2013. The main purpose of the conference will be to seek to assist the parties in resolving differences in relation to the applications. The conference will also consider whether the timetable set out below should be changed as a result of submissions and witness statements filed by the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union and Transport Workers’ Union of Australia.



• The dates 30 and 31 May 2013 will be set aside for the hearing of witness evidence in the review. The review will be listed for 30 May in Brisbane and 31 May in Melbourne for this purpose.



• The dates 11-14 June 2013 will be set aside for the hearing in Melbourne of submissions in the review.

[2] I continue to encourage the parties to confer with a view to reaching agreement on the applications or narrowing the issues in contention.
