The Government's considering a wider inquiry into last week's Mount Maunganui landslide tragedy.

Six people remain missing - with recovery efforts slow faced by the unstable land, with floral tributes surrounding the cordon.

Cabinet's discussing allocating funding to areas hard hit by severe weather.

Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell says he's spoken to Tauranga mayor Mahé Drysdale - but the council may still proceed with their own investigation. 

"Obviously, they'll have to work through their own process in terms of what they want to do, but Mahé knows that we're committed to doing a Government inquiry."
