An application for the Afforestation Grant and Premium Scheme for the person named was approved in August, 2020. The applicant’s Registered Forester applied for and received approval to plant in October 2020. While the Registered Forester has provided notice of commencement of planting, no notice of completion of planting, nor an application for payment has been received by my Department.

When the applicant’s Registered Forester submits these forms, my Department will then be in a position to check and, if in order, process for payment.
