The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by UGL Operations & Maintenance Pty Ltd. 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.

In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
