s.185 - Application for approval of a single-enterprise agreement
CIA Precast and Steel Pty Ltd Trading As Advanciv
Application for approval of the Advanciv Enterprise Agreement 2025
[1] CIA Precast and Steel Pty Ltd trading as Advanciv (the Employer) has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Advanciv Enterprise Agreement 2025 (the Agreement) pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
[2] The Agreement will apply to employees who are covered by the Concrete Products Award 2020.
Regulation 2.06 Requirements
[3] The signature page of the Agreement did not comply in all respects with Regulation 2.06A of the Fair Work Regulations 2009 (Cth). An amended signature page was subsequently filed. I consider it appropriate in the circumstances to allow an amendment of a document relating to a matter before the FWC and do so pursuant to s.586(a) of the Act.
[4] The Employer provided written undertakings to address certain BOOT and NES issues. The undertakings apply to the exclusion of the corresponding clause within the Agreement. A copy of the undertakings is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement. The undertakings are taken to be a term of the Agreement.
[5] Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
[6] The Australian Workers Union (AWU) being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it.
[7] In accordance with s.201(2), I note that the Agreement covers the AWU.
[8] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 6 June 2025. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 6 June 2028.
