The entitlements of the person named were definitively established on 31 May 2016, based on 82.80 eligible hectares declared under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme. 

The  Department has since reduced the eligible hectares for the person named under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme and the person named was notified of this change. 

Based on the revised eligible hectares for 2015 Basic Payment Scheme, the number of entitlements has been amended to 77.36 entitlements.

Payment in full under the 2017 Basic Payment Scheme will issue in the coming days.
