The person named submitted an application under the ‘young farmer’ category of the 2015 National Reserve. This application was not successful as the applicant did not hold either low value entitlements or so called ‘naked land’ on which an allocation from the National Reserve could be made. The person named contacted my Department directly in April 2016 regarding their application and informed my Department that a mistake was made on the application and they had intended to apply for the Young Farmers Scheme. This application has now been successfully processed and payment issued on 28th April 2016.
