COMMISSIONER JOHNS	SYDNEY, 21 MARCH 2016

Application for approval of the Penrith Aquatic and Leisure Ltd Agreement 2015.

[1] On 25 January 2016, Penrith Aquatic and Leisure Limited (Applicant) made an application for approval of the Penrith Aquatic Leisure LTD Agreement 2015 (Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (Act). The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] The Agreement was lodged outside the 14 day timeframe prescribed by s 185(3)(a) of the Act. In its application to the Fair Work Commission (Commission) the Applicant explained that the application was late, due to a delay in organising signatures for documents leading up to the Christmas/New Year Holiday period, because union and management representatives were out of the office. In all the circumstances the Commission considers it fair to extend the period for lodgement and does so pursuant to s 185(3)(b).

[3] The Commission is 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 Agreement is approved. In accordance with s 54 of the Act the Agreement will operate from 25 March 2016. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 25 March 2019.
