I received an email reply to a few questions from LRD.
Below is a copy of the email, but I've removed the header as it isn't necessary to include it. Should anyone wish to see the original email I sent asking these questions, please pm me.

Hello Jennifer
Thankyou for your email
The minimum size of the property you can hunt on is 2 hectares or 5 acres
If you fail to pay for your licence the first time you can request a second payment notice via a written request and that payment must be made before the expiry of that request.A third request would not be considered.
If you fail to pay after the second request an you still want a firearms licence you will have to lodge a new application form and wait the 28 day period.
When you purchase a firearm through a dealer , the dealer will forward all the information to LRD for processing . A certificate of registration of firearm will be issued to you.
There is no limit to the amount of ammunition you can purchase at any time.
