Application for approval of the South Gippsland Shire Council Enterprise Agreement 2019.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the South Gippsland Shire Council Enterprise Agreement 2019 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by South Gippsland Shire Council. 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 Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation, the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia, the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union and the Australian Education Union, being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have each 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.

[4] The Agreement was approved on 30 September 2019 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 7 September 2019. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2022.
