Citation: [2025] FWCFB 294
What happened
the Applicant applied to the Fair Work Commission for approval of a greenfields agreement and a tunnel greenfields agreement. These agreements related to the North South Corridor – River Torrens to Darlington Project in South Australia. The Australian Workers’ Union (South Australia Branch) was also involved. The Commission considered applications AG2025/3233 and AG2025/3248.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission made a decision regarding the applications for approval of the greenfields agreements. The decision does not provide specific details on the outcome of the applications. It references other related cases and variations to modern awards.
What it means for employers
the Applicant seeking to establish greenfields agreements should ensure they comply with the Fair Work Act and relevant regulations. They should also be prepared for scrutiny by the Fair Work Commission and potential involvement of unions.
What it means for employees
Employees should be aware of the potential impact of greenfields agreements on their working conditions and entitlements. They have the right to be represented by a union during negotiations and to have agreements reviewed by the Fair Work Commission.
