The person named submitted an application for the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme which was received in the Department on 27 May 2015. The application was processed with payments issuing to the nominated bank account on 17 December 2015 and 2 February 2016. However, to complete the full processing of this application, the person named was requested to submit commonage evidence for a particular land parcel. Documentation has been recently received in this regard. It is currently being examined with a decision to issue shortly. If the parcel in question is deemed to be eligible it can then be processed for consideration for an allocation from the National Reserve and payment under the Young Farmer Scheme.

An Official from my Department will be in direct contact with the person named to clarify matters.
