SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT RICHARDS	BRISBANE, 12 AUGUST 2016

Application for termination of the LCR Lindores Group Pty Ltd Qld Tower Crane Division And CFMEU Union Collective Agreement 2006

[1] On 29 July 2016 LCR Group Pty Ltd filed an application pursuant to Item 16, Schedule 3 of the Fair Work (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2009 (“the TPCA Act”) to terminate the LCR Lindores Group Pty Ltd Qld Tower Crane Division And CFMEU Union Collective Agreement 2006 (“the Agreement”).

[2] The Agreement is a collective agreement-based transitional instrument which has passed its nominal expiry date.

[3] Item 16, Schedule 3 of the TPCA Act states that Subdivision D of Division 7 of Part 2-4 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (“the FW Act”) applies to applications to terminate collective agreement-based transitional instruments that have passed their nominal expiry date.

[4] I have taken into consideration the views of any Unions covered by the Agreement (noting that no objection was received or adverse view expressed). I further indicate that the employer has declared that no employees are performing work under the Agreement any longer.

[5] In having regard to the requirements of s.226 of the FW Act and based on the material that is before me, I am satisfied that:

• it is not contrary to the public interest to terminate the Agreement; and



• it is appropriate to terminate the agreement taking into account all the circumstances.

[6] In accordance with s.227 of the FW Act, the termination will come into effect from today.
