5.         Delete "Schedule 4: Method of Calculation " of the Transport Industry - Quarried Materials, &c., Carriers Contract Determination, published 14 August 1992 (271 IG 89), as varied and insert in lieu therefore a new Schedule 4 in the following terms:

 

SCHEDULE 4

 

CONSULTATION

 

Adjustments to the Cartage Rates detailed in Annexure "A" must be determined in accordance with the procedures set out in Annexure "B", Schedule 1.

 

Applications may be made no more than twice each year.

 

Prior to an application being made to adjust the Cartage Rates in accordance with clause 4(ii), a representative of the party wishing to make an application must contact all other parties to the contract determination (i.e. the principal contractors or their representatives; or the Union, as the case may be) and seek to arrange a meeting with the representatives of those parties for the purposes of determining adjustments to the Cartage Rates.

 

The parties must attempt to determine the current costs by reference to the latest available published figure for each of the sources as listed in Annexure "B", Schedule 3.  Where the parties agree, the parties will then sign the source of documents from which the figures were obtained.

 

The representatives of the TWU and principal contractors will then prepare a document which sets out the agreed variation in rates to apply from a particular date.

 

The document should set out the following details:

The parties may make a joint application under section 320 of the Industrial Relations Act 1996 (NSW). 

 

If the parties are unable to agree on the appropriate source documents or figures to be used, a party may make an application under section 320 of the Industrial Relations Act 1996 (NSW). 

 

The parties agree that, for the calculation of the first increase due under this formulae, (i.e., the increase to apply from 1.4.91 only) the following will occur to make allowance for the fact that increases in rates are now to occur from 1 April and 1 October as compared to 1 February and 1 August, as is currently the case.

 

The percentage increases calculated using the agreed formulae for each of the components of repair parts, tyres, depreciation and other fixed costs will be increased by a further 33.33 per cent. This figure is used as being representative of two months of increases (i.e., 2 months of a 6 months increase = 33.33 per cent).

 

The percentage increase used for wages, fuel and oil, and registration, will be the percentage increase between the figures shown as the confirmed base as at 1.7.90, and the respective figures as at the first Monday of March 1991.

 

The base figures for the initial rise and fall calculation were -
