Media statement on Enterprise Agreement vote result

Attributed to Chief Executive Officer, Evan King  

I am pleased to confirm that City of Ballarat staff have voted in favour of the proposed new Enterprise Agreement.  521 out of 950 voters (or 54.8%) voted for the new Enterprise Agreement.  

Management will now proceed to finalise the agreement with the Fair Work Commission.  

I believe the new Enterprise Agreement strikes the right balance between being cognisant of employee cost-of-living pressures, while also ensuring the organisation can operate within its budgetary constraints.  

The new Enterprise Agreement provides employees with much needed stability and flexibility to meet work/life demands.
