[1] An application has been made by R.I.G. Installations (Newcastle) Pty. Ltd. (Applicant) for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the R.I.G. Installations (Newcastle) Enterprise Agreement 2025 (Agreement). The Application is made pursuant to s. 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement. The Commission must approve the agreement if the requirements in ss. 186 and 187 of the Act are met.

[2] Having regard to the information contained in the application and filed in relation to it, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss. 186 and 187 are met.

[3] The Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) was a bargaining representative for the Agreement. It supports the application for approval. The union 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 the Agreement covers the AMWU.

[4] The Agreement was approved on 2 April 2025. Clause 4 of the Agreement fixes the operative date of the Agreement as "the first pay period to commence on or after 7 days following the date of approval of the Agreement by Fair Work Commission". The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is, in accordance with clause 4 of the Agreement, three years from the date of this decision. The nominal expiry date is therefore 1 April 2028.
