The person named submitted applications under the 2017 National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. These applications were unsuccessful and my Department notified the person named in writing of this outcome and also advised that he had the option to appeal the decision.

The person named subsequently submitted an appeal of the decision to reject his applications and he also submitted additional documentation in support of his appeal. Based on the additional documentation submitted by the person named his appeal was successful. His applications under the 2017 National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme are now being finalised to facilitate payment as soon as possible.
