Melbourne Water Corporation
v
The Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia and Others
(B2013/1529)

DEPUTY PRESIDENT SMITH MELBOURNE, 20 DECEMBER 2013

Correct or amend an obvious error, defect or irregularity in relation to decision under s.185 in relation to matter number AG2013/9973.

[1] On 22 November 2013 the Melbourne Water Corporation Enterprise Agreement 2013 [AE405523  PR544917] [the Agreement] was approved.

[2] Shortly after that time the Australian Industry Group (AiGroup) advised me that it had made an error in the material lodged. In particular the AiGroup had not forwarded the Form F18 from the Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia (CEPU) and The Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers Australia (APESMA).

[3] The Agreement was approved without the knowledge of the existence of the Form F18 from these two organisations and as such they were not covered.

[4] The Melbourne Water Corporation now make application pursuant to s.602(2)(b) of the Fair Work Act 2006 (the Act) to correct that error.

[5] Having seen the Statutory Declaration of Chris Sealie Principal Adviser, Workplace Relations, AiGroup, I am prepared to issue an order to make it clear that the two organisations will be bound by the Agreement.
