The person named submitted a Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by lease as transferee. The 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application was submitted under the herd number shown prior to the herd number being changed into the name of the person named. For this reason my Department has been unable to fully process this application to facilitate payment under the Basic Payment Scheme. Processing of this application is now underway and arrangements are being made to finalise the case for payment shortly.
The person named also submitted an application under the 2015 Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. Once the Basic Payment Scheme application has been finalised, payment due under the Young Farmers’ Scheme will issue shortly thereafter.
