[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Zoos Victoria Keepers, Veterinary Nurses, Horticulturists, and Groundstaff Union Collective Agreement 2015 (the Agreement).

The Agreement is a single enterprise 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.

[3] The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union and United Voice, being bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have given notice under s.183 of the Act that they want the Agreement to cover them. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisations.
