DEPUTY PRESIDENT ASBURY	BRISBANE, 13 MAY 2021

Application for approval of the Visy Board Carole Park Queensland Agreement 2021.

[1] Visy Board Pty Ltd (the Applicant) applies to the Fair Work Commission (the Commission) for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Visy Board Carole Park Queensland Agreement 2021 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] The “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover that organisation. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act, and based on the declaration provided by the organisation, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[3] I am satisfied, on the basis of information set out in the Form F16 Application for approval of an enterprise agreement, the Form F17 Employer’s declaration in support of an application for approval of the Agreement and responses to requests for further information provided by the Applicant, that each of the requirements of ss. l86, 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 ss.186(3) and (3A), and on the basis of the information contained in the Form F17, I am satisfied that the group of employees covered by the Agreement was fairly chosen.

[4] The Agreement is approved in accordance with s.54 of the Act and will operate from 20 May 2021. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2024.
