MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 9 JANUARY 2014
Alteration of other rules of organisation.

[1] On 15 December 2013 the Western Australian Shire Councils, Municipal Road Boards, Health Boards, Parks, Cemeteries and Racecourse, Public Authorities, Water Boards Union (the organisation) lodged with the Fair Work Commission a notice and declaration setting out particulars of alterations to the rules of the organisation.

[2] The particulars provide for alterations to Rule 2 of Part One and the addition of new Part Four with new rules 1, 2, 3, 4 into the rules of the organisation. The alterations were made for the purpose of complying with provisions of the Fair Work (Registered

Organisations) Amendment Act 2012 (the Amendment Act) regarding the rules of registered

organisations. In particular, the alterations provide for specified disclosures, the implementation of policies relating to expenditure and the mandatory training of officers with duties that relate to the financial management of the organisation.

[3] On the information contained in the notice, I am satisfied the alterations have been made under the rules of the organisation.

[4] On 8 January 2014 Mr Andrew Johnson, Secretary of the organisation, gave consent, under subsection 159(2) of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009, for the Delegate to make various amendments to the alterations for the purpose of correcting typographical, clerical or formal errors. Accordingly the following corrections have been made:

	The second set of sub-rules A, B, C and D in rule 2 of Part Four be renumbered sub- rules E, F, G and H respectively;
	The reference to ‘sub-rule (A)’ in the second rule 2(B) of Part Four be changed to ‘sub-rule (E)’;
	The reference to ‘sub-rule (C)’ in the second rule 2(D) of Part Four be changed to ‘sub-rule (G)’;
	The second set of sub-rules A, B, C and D in rule 3 of Part Four be renumbered sub- rules E, F, G and H respectively;
	The references to ‘sub-rule (A)’ in the second rule 3(B) and 3(C) of Part Four be changed to ‘sub-rule (E)’;

	The reference to ‘sub-rule (C)’ in the second rule 3(D) of Part Four be changed to ‘sub-rule (G)’;
	The second set of sub-rules A, B and C in rule 4 of Part Four be renumbered sub-rules E, F and G respectively; and
	The references to ‘sub-rule (A)’ in the second rule 4(B) and 4(C) of Part Four be changed to ‘sub-rule (D)’

[5] In my opinion, the alterations comply with and are not contrary to the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (the RO Act), the Amendment Act, the Fair Work Act 2009, modern awards and enterprise agreements, and are not otherwise contrary to law. I

certify accordingly under subsection 159(1) of the RO Act.
