An initial conference was held on 18 November 2014 dealing with the administrative and programming issues for awards in group 3 and 4.

In response to requests from industrial parties this process has been revised to provide interested parties with more time to consider the nature of any changes they propose to make during the review of these awards.

[2] Initial conferences for group 3 and 4 awards will now be held on 30, 31 March and 1 April 2015. Submissions identifying the nature of any changes to be proposed during the review of the awards in groups 3 and 4 are now due to be filed no later than 4.00pm on Monday 2 March 2015.

(ii) Initial conferences for group 3 and 4 awards will be held on 30 and 31 March and 1 April 2015. The purpose of these conferences is to identify the nature of the issues to be raised by interested parties during the review of each of these awards. The conferences will start at 10.00 am and awards have been allocated a specific time slot during each day. A detailed schedule for these conferences is set out at Attachment A to this Statement. Revised notices of listings will be issued shortly.

(iii) After the conferences the Commission will publish a statement setting out the range of issues arising in each award and proposed directions for determining these matters. The proposed directions will include timelines for lodging written submissions and hearing dates.
