DEPUTY PRESIDENT GOOLEY	MELBOURNE, 18 MARCH 2014

Application for approval of the Direct Traffic Services Pty Ltd, Victoria and AWU Traffic Management Collective Agreement 2014 to 2016.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Direct Traffic Services Pty Ltd, Victoria and AWU Traffic Management Collective Agreement 2014 to 2016 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by The Australian Workers Union (AWU). 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.

[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 AWU, 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) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[5] The Agreement was approved on 18 March 2014 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 25 March 2014. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 September 2016.
