The Project Labour Agreement serves as a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement that establishes working conditions and labor-management relations for large-scale construction projects in New Zealand. It is particularly useful for complex projects involving multiple contractors and trades, where standardized working conditions and clear dispute resolution processes are essential. The document ensures compliance with New Zealand employment law while promoting workplace harmony, efficient project delivery, and fair working conditions. It typically includes provisions for wages, working hours, health and safety requirements, training programs, and local workforce participation, with specific consideration for Māori engagement where appropriate. This type of agreement is commonly used in major infrastructure, commercial, and industrial construction projects where coordinated labor relations are crucial for project success.
