COMMISSIONER ROBERTS	SYDNEY, 18 AUGUST 2014

Application for approval of the Schenker Australia Pty Limited Queensland Logistics Distribution Centre’s Enterprise Agreement 2014-2017.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Schenker Australia Pty Limited Queensland Logistics Distribution Centre’s Enterprise Agreement 2014-2017 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Schenker Australia Pty Limited. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] The Agreement contains a consultation term at clause 8. However, it is not a consultation term that fully complies with s.205 of the Act. Consequently the model consultation term is taken to be a term of the Agreement.

[3] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as is relevant to this application for approval has been met.

[4] The National Union of Workers, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wishes to be covered by the Agreement. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers that organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 25 August 2014. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 24 August 2017.
