Application for approval of the Steel Cement (Yarraville) Enterprise Agreement 2025 -2028

[1] Steel Cement Pty Ltd (the Employer) has made an application for approval of a single-enterprise agreement known as the Steel Cement (Yarraville) Enterprise Agreement 2025-2028 (the Agreement), pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (the Act).

[2] The agreement title on the Notice of Employee Representational Rights (NERR) that was issued to the employees was the "Steel Cement (Yarraville) Enterprise Agreement 2025-2027" which does not exactly match the title of the Agreement to be approved. The NERR was also not in the form prescribed by the regulations. I am satisfied that these matters were minor procedural or technical errors and that the employees were not likely to have been disadvantaged by them. Accordingly, I exercise the discretion conferred by s.188(5) of the Act to disregard these errors.

[3] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss 186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. 

[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s 54 of the Act, will operate seven days after approval.
