GH VARLEY PTY LTD CARRINGTON ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2017 - 2020

Manufacturing and associated industries
DEPUTY PRESIDENT GOSTENCNIK	MELBOURNE, 5 SEPTEMBER 2017

Application for approval of the GH Varley Pty Ltd Carrington Enterprise Agreement 2017 - 2020.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the GH Varley Pty Ltd Carrington Enterprise Agreement 2017 - 2020 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by GH Varley Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] The Applicant has provided written undertakings. A copy of the undertakings is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement.

[3] Subject to the undertakings referred to above, and on the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying statutory declaration, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[4] 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.

[5] The Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union (AMWU) 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) and based on the statutory declaration provided by the organisation, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[6] The Agreement was approved on 5 August 2017 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 12 September 2017. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 March 2020.
