Case number: C2006/2720 
Applicant(s): Siemens Ltd 
Respondent(s): CFMEU 
Site: Laverton North Gas Plant 
Jurisdiction: AIRC 
Before: Deputy President Ives 
Hearing date:
23 June 2006
Intervention filed on: 22 June 2006 

Application by Siemens Ltd for orders under s496 of the Workplace Relations Act 1996 to stop bans on painting work at the site of construction of a gas-fired power station at Laverton North.

Painting of fire system pipework by Wormald sprinkler fitters (covered by the CEPU) had been banned by the CFMEU on the grounds that such painting work was allegedly covered by the CFMEU.

The AIRC hearing was listed on 23 June. Following advice that the bans had been lifted, Siemens withdrew its application.
