The person named commenced REPS 3 in December 2006 and has received payment in respect years 1 to 4.

Following an inspection on 3 December 2010, penalties totalling 105% of the 5th year payment were imposed. An appeal dated 23 March 2011 was received by my Department. Following a review of the case the person named was informed by letter on 24 May 2011 that the appeal was not successful. The person named was also informed of his right to appeal this decision to the Agricultural Appeals Office within three months of the date of receipt of this letter.
