The Agriculture Appeals Office operates independently of my Department.

I have been advised by the Agriculture Appeals Office that a request for a review of the Appeals Officer's decision was received from the person named. I understand that the person seeking the review has recently submitted further documentation to the Agriculture Appeals Office in support of the request and I am informed that this will be taken into consideration when reaching a determination.

Reviews are conducted by the Director of Agriculture Appeals in accordance with the Agriculture Appeals Act 2001. I am informed that requests for reviews are generally dealt with in order of receipt. While it is not possible to give a precise timeframe for completion of the review, I am advised that every effort is being made to finalise the case as soon as possible.
