Application for approval of the Mann Group Vic. Pty Ltd and the CFMEU (Victorian Construction and General Division) Subcontractors Demolition Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027.
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Mann Group Vic. Pty Ltd and the CFMEU (Victorian Construction and General Division) Subcontractors Demolition Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the employer, Mann Group Vic. Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
Having regard to the material contained in the application and filed in relation to it, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188, 193 and 193A as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer. However, taking into account the factors in sections 186(3) and (3A), I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.
The title of the Agreement in the Notice of Employee Representational Rights (NOERR) was different to the title clause in the proposed Agreement, and the employer’s name was not provided in the NOERR. Nevertheless, in the circumstances, I am satisfied that these constitute minor procedural or technical errors for the purposes of s.188(5) of the Act. Further, I am satisfied that the employees covered by the agreement were not likely to have been disadvantaged by these errors. As a result, I am satisfied that the Agreement has been genuinely agreed within the meaning of s.188 of the Act.
The Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU), 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) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
The Agreement was approved on 11 April 2025 and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 18 April 2025. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 2 July 2027.
