TASMANIAN PROFESSIONAL PLASTER & CFMEU ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2015 -2017

Tasmania
COMMISSIONER ROE	MELBOURNE, 6 JULY 2015

Application for approval of the Tasmanian Professional Plaster & CFMEU Enterprise Agreement 2015 - 2017.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an single-enterprise agreement known as the Tasmanian Professional Plaster & CFMEU Enterprise Agreement 2015 - 2017 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Tasmanian Professional Plaster (the Applicant).

[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 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 Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, being the 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) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 13 July 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 28 February 2017.
