The person named submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department to transfer out land and entitlements under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme. Detail relating to the 2013 Single payment application submitted by the person name indicates that this land was leased in and therefore not eligible for transfer under the Private Contract Clause. My Department issued a letter to the person named on 26 November to establish the ownership status of the land. Once my Department receives the required information the application will be processed with a view to issuing payment shortly thereafter.
