DAWOUD FAMILY TRUST (THE TRUSTEE FOR) T/AS VICTORIA CITY TILING PTY LTD AND THE CFMEU (VICTORIAN CONSTRUCTION AND GENERAL DIVISION) SUBCONTRACTORS TILELAYER ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2024 - 2027
Application for approval of the Dawoud Family Trust (The Trustee For) T/AS Victoria City Tiling Pty Ltd and the CFMEU (Victorian Construction and General Division) Subcontractors Tilelayer Enterprise Agreement 2024 - 2027
[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Dawoud Family Trust (The Trustee For) T/AS Victoria City Tiling Pty Ltd and the CFMEU (Victorian Construction and General Division) Subcontractors Tilelayer Enterprise Agreement 2024 - 2027 (Agreement). The application was made by the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (Applicant) pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
[2] The NERR provided with the application differs from the form prescribed by the Fair Work Regulations 2009 (Cth). I consider this to be a minor procedural or technical error of the nature contemplated by s.188(5) and am satisfied that the employees are not likely to have been disadvantaged by the error.
[3] On the basis of the materials before the Commission, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to the application for approval of the Agreement have been met.
[4] The Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 16 March 2026. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 2 July 2027.
