COMMISSIONER YILMAZ	MELBOURNE, 2 OCTOBER 2019

Application for approval of the Knox City Council Enterprise Agreement No. 10, 2019 - 2021.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Knox City Council Enterprise Agreement No. 10, 2019 - 2021 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Knox City Council. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 are relevant to this application for approval and 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] Pursuant to s.205(2) of the Act, the model consultation term prescribed by the Fair Work Regulations 2009 is taken to be a term of the Agreement.

[4] The Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union, the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation and the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia 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 the organisations.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 9 October 2019. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 December 2021.
