VOLGREN AUSTRALIA PTY LTD EAGLE FARM ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2024-2027

Application for approval of the Volgren Australia Pty Ltd Eagle Farm Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027
Volgren Australia Pty Ltd T/A Volgren has applied for approval of a single enterprise agreement known as the Volgren Australia Pty Ltd Eagle Farm Enterprise Agreement 2024-2027 (the Agreement).
The Notice of Employee Representational Rights was not in the prescribed form. In the circumstances, the error was a minor procedural one that is not likely to have disadvantaged any employee. I am satisfied that despite the oversight, the Agreement has been genuinely agreed.
The version of the Agreement filed with the application was not the correct version (that is, it was not the version that employees were asked to approve). An amended version of the Agreement with the correct “Appendix A” has been provided to the Commission. The document is varied to correct the error under s.586 of the Act to give effect to the agreement of the parties.
On the papers and having regard to the Statement of Principles[1], I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Fair Work Act 2009 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
The Agreement is approved and will operate from 23 December 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2027.
The Agreement covers the "Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union" known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union (AMWU).
