Written answers
The person named submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by sale as transferee. This application was rejected on the basis that the transferor did not submit a 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application on which s/he declares at least one hectare of eligible land.
The transferor in this case subsequently submitted a late 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application to my Department for consideration under appeal. This late application has been accepted and the Private Contract Clause application can now be processed. An official from my Department will contact the person named directly with an update on his application, including a likely date for payment.
