Application for approval of the Patrick BWL (Henderson) Enterprise Agreement 2015.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Patrick BWL (Henderson) Enterprise Agreement 2015 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Patrick Auto, Bulk & General Ports Pty Ltd. 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.
