View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in May 2008 and received payments for the five years of their contract. During the course of an on-farm inspection in March 2011 areas of non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the scheme were noted in relation to Measure 3 ‘Protect and Maintain Watercourses and Wells’ which resulted in the application of a 50% penalty. The application of this penalty has been appealed by the person named and a review has been completed. The person named has been notified in writing of the outcome of this review.
