An inquiry is underway to review the build up to Thursday's landslide at Mount Maunganui. 

Tauranga MP Sam Uffindel told Newstalk ZB’s Ryan Bridge that the Tauranga City Council are continuing to work on the inquiry into what happened leading up to the deadly landslide.

He said those coming forward saying they warned emergency services of the risk of a landslide earlier in the day would be taken into account in the council's inquiry.

“They want to establish all of the facts and get them out there very publicly."
