Funding Review Report by Raynor Asher QC
Mr Asher was appointed to the High Court Bench in 2005 and to the Court of Appeal in 2016. He retired from the Court of Appeal in 2019 and is now practicing as a barrister and arbitrator/mediator. 

Mr Asher was tasked with answering the following question: Which Council or Councils should lead and fund the implementation of coastal hazard mitigation projects (including design, consenting, construction and maintenance cost) under the Strategy?  In undertaking his review, Mr Asher engaged with the Joint Committee, staff and Councillors from each Partner Council, considered material developed to date under the Strategy, reviewed relevant historical information, legislation and case law, and had been assisted with local legal advice. 

Mr Asher has now completed his review and presented his findings in the report “Review and Recommendations for the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee” to the Joint Committee.

The Hawke's Bay Regional Council put out a media release following the meeting, this can be found here.
