DEPUTY PRESIDENT GOSTENCNIK	MELBOURNE, 28 SEPTEMBER 2015

Application for approval of the Saint-Gobain Ceramic Materials Pty Ltd Collective Agreement 2014 - 2017.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Saint-Gobain Ceramic Materials Pty Ltd Collective Agreement 2014 - 2017 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Saint-Gobain Ceramic Materials Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] On the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying statutory declaration, 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.

[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 Australian Workers’ Union being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) and based on the statutory declaration provided by the organisation, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[5] The Agreement was approved on 28 September 2015 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 5 October 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 20 December 2017.
