The person named submitted a Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by lease as transferee. The 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application was submitted under the herd number shown prior to the herd number being changed into the name of the person named. My Department is working to resolve this issue which has prevented this application from being fully processed to facilitate payment under the Basic Payment Scheme. Once resolved my Department will contact the person named directly regarding details of his payment.

The person named also submitted an application under the 2015 Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. Once the Basic Payment Scheme payment has issued, the Young Farmers Scheme application can be finalised with a view to payment shortly thereafter.
