Attorney-General Christopher Finlayson today released the report of the Ministerial Review Panel which he commissioned on the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004.

The report includes the panel’s advice and sets out a range of options on how to best recognise both customary and public interests in the coastal marine area.

“The panel has completed the vital first stage of the review process and reported on time” said Mr Finlayson. “The next step is for the Government to consider the recommendations in the report and make decisions on the future of the Act.”
