Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia
ADVANCED INSULATION & FABRICATIONS AND CEPU PLUMBING DIVISION LAGGING UNION COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT 2024 - 2026
Application for approval of the Advanced Insulation & Fabrications and CEPU Plumbing Division Lagging Union Collective Agreement 2024 - 2026
[1] The Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia (CEPU) has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Advanced Insulation & Fabrications and CEPU Plumbing Division Lagging Union Collective Agreement 2024 - 2026 (the Agreement) pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
[2] On the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying declaration, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss 186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval has been met.
[3] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the Agreement was made. Pursuant to s 185(3)(b), in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.
[4] The CEPU, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s 183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. As required by s 201(2), I note that the Agreement covers the CEPU.
[5] The Agreement was approved on 1 September 2025.
