Following receipt of an appeal, this case has since been reviewed and the penalty was overturned. On this basis a supplementary payment will issue to the person named in the coming days.

The person named submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by sale as Transferee. An issue regarding the Basic Payment Scheme application submitted by the Transferor in this case has prevented the processing of the transfer application. An Official from my Department has contacted the Transferor to resolve this issue. Once resolved the transfer application can be completed to facilitate payment under the Basic Payment Scheme. The person named also submitted an application under the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. Once the Basic Payment Scheme payment has issued, this application can be finalised with a view to payment shortly thereafter.
