The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and has received full entitlements in respect of the 2015 scheme year. 

The 2016 prepayment checking process was not successfully completed due to issues identified with the Natura and Protection of Watercourses from Bovines actions.  The cross checks with the Basic Payment Scheme found that the Crop Code/parcel usage for both the Natura and Protection of Watercourses from Bovines actions were not in accordance with scheme specifications and therefore requires further examination.  Department officials are actively working to resolve these issues to allow further processing of the application for 2016 payment.
