How the Government and Hawke's Bay councils will share the costs of buying out some property owners in the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle, is still to be revealed.
Council's can't say what the cost split for the buyouts will be, saying a government agreement prevents them from giving details.
Cyclone Response Minister Grant Robertson says the councils will work with individual property owners to figure out the costs of each buyout.
Roberston spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
