Application for approval of the Newcastle Stevedores Bulk and General Enterprise Agreement 2024
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Newcastle Stevedores Bulk and General Enterprise Agreement 2024 (Agreement). The Application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act). It has been made by Newcastle Stevedores Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
I am satisfied that each requirement of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the FW Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
Noting clause 6.4 of the Agreement, I am satisfied that the more beneficial entitlements of the NES in the FW Act will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES.
The Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) lodged a Form F18 statutory declaration giving notice under s.183 of the FW Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) of the FW Act, I note the Agreement covers the CFMEU.
