[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the JBW Technologies Australia and CEPU - Plumbing Division Victorian Branch Enterprise Agreement 2016 -2019 (the 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.
