Application for approval of the Mitchell Shire Council Enterprise Agreement No 6, 2014-2017.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Mitchell Shire Council Enterprise Agreement No 6, 2014-2017 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act). It has been made by Mitchell Shire Council (Applicant). The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] The Agreement does not contain a consultation clause that meets the requirements of s.205(2) of the Act. Therefore, the model consultation term prescribed by the Fair Work Regulations 2009 is taken to be a term of the Agreement and attached to the Agreement.

[3] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[4] The Australian Nursing & Midwifery Federation and the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union, being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover them. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers these organisations.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 6 February 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2017.
