Fair Work Act 2009
s.156 - 4 yearly review of modern awards

Ports, Harbours and Enclosed Water Vessels Award 2010, Seagoing Industry Award 2010, Marine Towage Award 2010.

[1] The Full Bench having reviewed the submissions made in relation to the draft determination concerning the coverage of the Seagoing Industry Award 2010 and the Ports, Harbours and Enclosed Water Vessels Award 2010 has formed a preliminary view that, given the potential for the coverage of the industries to which the awards apply to overlap if the proposed exclusions from the respective awards are removed from each award, it may be appropriate as part of the 4 yearly review to amalgamate the two awards. The Full Bench has additionally formed the preliminary view that further amalgamation with the third award, the Marine Towage Award 2010, is also worthy of consideration.

[2] A hearing will be held on 7 December 2017 at 10.00am in Sydney (with video-links on request) to hear from any interested party in relation to:

1) the preliminary views of the Full Bench; and

2) the draft determinations regarding coverage of the Seagoing Industry Award 2010, the Ports, Harbours and Enclosed Water Vessels Award 2010 and the Marine Towage Award 2010 published on 30 June 2017.
