COMMISSIONER MCKINNON	MELBOURNE, 16 SEPTEMBER 2019

Application for approval of the Thiess Dawson Mines Agreement 2018.

[1] Application has been made for approval of a single enterprise agreement known as the Thiess Dawson Mines Agreement 2018 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Thiess Pty Ltd.

[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 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 is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 23 September 2019. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 January 2022.
