The Department reported that the request for leases of the 10 farmers with the option to purchase was submitted to the Minister of Public Works for approval. The Department of Public Works is the owner of the land however, due to agricultural activities that are taking place on the land; the land is being administered by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF). The Department also mentioned that approximately 6% of the total value of each farm would be the annual rental with 10% escalation. However, with the PTOs that they currently have, there was no rental.
