An application under the 2014 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 5 May 2014. This application was subject to a Land Parcel Identification System review, which identified ineligible areas. Following further examination of the application the determined area has been re-evaluated, and my Department is currently in the process of issuing any outstanding payments due to the person named.

Payments under the 2015 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraints schemes have issued directly to the nominated bank account of the person named in respect of 28.13 determined hectares.
