[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Visy (Coolaroo & Reservoir) Enterprise Agreement, 2020 (the 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 organisations.
