COMMISSIONER HARPER-GREENWELL	MELBOURNE, 21 MARCH 2019

Application for approval of the Victoria Carpets Dandenong - CFMEU Enterprise Agreement 2018.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Victoria Carpets Dandenong - CFMEU Enterprise Agreement 2018 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by The Victoria Carpet Company Pty Ltd T/A Victoria Carpets. 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 Agreement lodged contained referencing errors at clauses 29, 30 and 34. On 20 March 2019, the parties filed an amended version of the Agreement correcting these errors. I am satisfied that the corrections should be made and that it is appropriate to do so pursuant to s.586 of the Act.

[4] The Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union, 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 21 March 2019 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 28 March 2019. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 August 2021.
