COMMISSIONER ROE	MELBOURNE, 4 MAY 2016

Application for approval of the Qube Logistics West Australian Container Parks Enterprise Agreement 2015.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Qube Logistics West Australian Container Parks 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 Qube Logistics (WA) Pty Ltd T/A Qube Logistics. 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. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

[3] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. Pursuant to s.185(3)(b), in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

[4] The “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) and the Transport Workers’ Union of Australia being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have given notice under s.183 of the Act that they want the Agreement to cover them. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisations.

[5] The Agreement was approved on 4 May 2016 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 11 May 2016. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2018.
