Application for approval of the S & B Blasting Co Pty Ltd AARP/Alcoa - Point Henry and Anglesea Sites Agreement 2013.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the
S & B Blasting Co Pty Ltd AARP/Alcoa - Point Henry and Anglesea Sites Agreement 2013 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) and was made by S & B Blasting Co Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
