Application for approval of the North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation Marine Pilots Enterprise Agreement 2018.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation Marine Pilots Enterprise Agreement 2018 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation Limited T/A North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

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