A view there's no harm in having Tauranga Council review the Mount Maunganui disaster alongside the Government inquiry.

A Rāhui's now in place over parts of Pilot Bay and Mount Main Beach- and the cordoned area where recovery work's expected to run into weeks.

Six people remain missing, presumed dead.

Political Commentator Bryce Edwards told Ryan Bridge the council review can take a look at its own systems, while the Government inquiry can take a birds-eye view.

He says it can look at what the Police did, what the fire service did and if there's an issue of council resourcing.
