[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Signode Australia Enterprise Agreement Kurri Kurri 2015 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Signode Packaging Group Australia Pty Ltd T/A Signode Australia.

[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.
