TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 Australian Hotels Association HOTELS, RESORTS, HOSPITALITY AND MOTELS AWARD
Award interest REASONS FOR DECISION In his Reasons for Decision1 of 18 November 1991, the Registrar granted registration to the Australian Hotels Association (Tasmanian Branch) (AHA). He also indicated that a certificate of registration will be issued pursuant to Section 64(1) of the Industrial Relations Act 1984 following the determination of award interest by a Commissioner. This matter concerns a reference from the President because the AHA has sought an interest in the Hotels, Resorts, Hospitality and Motels Award. At a hearing on Friday, 29 November the application for interest was heard. Mr Ireland for the AHA comprehensively addressed the requirements of Section 63 (10)(c)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Act and included, inter alia, the fact that:
It was explained that members are also covered by a Federal award. However the classification of greenkeeper/gardener is only contained in the State award, and such persons are employed by members within the industry.
In summary Mr Ireland said that there was a good case for the granting of interest because the AHA relied upon the State award in respect of the classification of greenkeeper/gardener; it wished to provide a complete industrial coverage to its members; and to restore the status quo, which existed prior to 1984. Whilst the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries participated in the hearing it raised no objection to the granting of the application. Having heard the evidence presented I am satisfied that the organisation has met the requirements of Section 63(10(c) of the Act and it is my decision to grant to the Australian Hotels Association (Tasmanian Branch) an interest in the Hotels, Resorts, Hospitality and Motels Award. Date of Effect This decision shall be incorporated into the award with effect from 29 November 1991. The file is now returned to the Registrar.
