230.

View answerIn order for a transferor to transfer entitlements by way of private contract clause from one herd number to another in 2015, the transferor must have declared a minimum of 1 hectare of eligible land on his/her 2015 Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) application form. The person named did not submit a BPS application form by the deadline of 23 June 2015.
However, a late application has been received in my Department and is currently being reviewed. As soon as this review is completed, the person named will be informed of the outcome.
