In 2015 the person named formed a Registered Farm Partnership with two other individuals.  My Department has received three Transfer of Entitlement applications in 2016 seeking the transfer of entitlements out of this Registered Farm Partnership by Division of Entitlements.  My Department has also received two Transfer of Entitlement applications in 2016 seeking the transfer of entitlements by merger of two or more holdings into a separate Registered Farm Partnership of which the person named is a member.  

These applications are currently being processed and are expected to be finalised shortly.  When finalised the person named will be notified in writing with a view to payment issuing shortly thereafter.
