WAVERLEY MILLS TASMANIA PRODUCTION EMPLOYEES ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2025

Application for approval of the Waverley Mills Tasmania Production Employees Enterprise Agreement 2025.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Waverley Mills Tasmania Production Employees Enterprise Agreement 2025 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Waverly Mills Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] The Notice of Employee Representational Rights (NERR) given to employees was not in the prescribed form as required under s.174(1A) of the Act in that an outdated version was used. I am satisfied that this constitutes a minor procedural or technical error for the purposes of s188(5)(a) and that the employees covered by the Agreement were not likely to have been disadvantaged by the error.

[3] I am further satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval 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) 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 18 August 2025. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2027.
