COMMISSIONER LEE	MELBOURNE, 13 APRIL 2016

Application for approval of the Path Transit Pty Ltd Bus Drivers Enterprise Agreement 2016 - Kalgoorlie.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Path Transit Pty Ltd Bus Drivers Enterprise Agreement 2016 - Kalgoorlie (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Path Transit Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] The Applicant has provided written undertakings. A copy of the undertakings is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement.

[3] Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
