Application for variation of the The Laminex Group Ballarat Decorating Plant Agreement 2013.

[1] This decision concerns an application made by Laminex Group Pty Ltd T/A The Laminex Group (the applicant) under section 217 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) for a variation of The Laminex Group Ballarat Decorating Plant Agreement 2013 (the Agreement) in order to remove an ambiguity or uncertainty in that agreement. The applicant is the employer covered by the Agreement.

[4] The application is approved. A consolidated version of the agreement, as varied, is attached to this decision.
