COMMISSIONER LEE	MELBOURNE, 12 AUGUST 2015

Application for approval of the Veolia Australia & New Zealand Eraring Enterprise Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Veolia Australia & New Zealand Eraring Enterprise Agreement 2014 (the Agreement).

I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement.
