On July 17, 2025, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) issued a final determination allowing Steeline Members Pty Ltd and its current and future members to participate in joint selling and advertising activities. This decision enables them to collectively negotiate with suppliers, which is expected to enhance their competitive position in the market.

The ACCC's authorization comes with a condition that it will remain in effect until August 8, 2035. This long-term approval reflects the ACCC's assessment of the potential benefits of collective bargaining for the members of Steeline, which operates in the building and construction sector.

For more details regarding the application and the ACCC's determination, interested parties can refer to the ACCC's public register, which provides comprehensive information on the decision-making process and the implications for the involved parties.
