The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and has received full payments for scheme years 2015 and 2016. The 2017 advance (85%) has also been paid with the 2017 balance delayed due to an outstanding Commonage Management Plan (CMP).

At the time the application was submitted on the Department's online application system the applicant's privately owned Natura land was not included. The approved GLAS contract did not include these lands.

My Department will review the position in relation to this application and will notify the applicant directly of the outcome once the review has been completed.
