The appointees are Ian Bond, a civil engineer and construction consultant, and Brian Roche a partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers. The group will be led by the former chief executive of the Ministry of Economic Development, Paul Carpinter.

To strengthen oversight of the BIA, the
government has decided to transfer the responsibility from
