The person named submitted applications under the 2015 National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. On three separate occasions officials from my Department have written to the person named requesting submission of outstanding documentation required to finalise the applications. To date my Department has received no response. On this basis the person named does not meet the eligibility criteria under the National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme as the necessary supporting documentation has not been submitted. A letter has issued to the person named informing him of the decision in relation to this application and offering the opportunity to appeal this decision.

The person named submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by lease as a transferee. This application was processed and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme issued on 26 January 2016. The person named also named submitted applications under the 2015 National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. These applications have been processed and payment is due to issue shortly.
