What you need to know:

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says there is a "strong case" for an independent Government inquiry into the fatal landslide at Mount Maunganui.
Police announced on Saturday that the search at the site would be moving to a "recovery phase" after human remains were found.
Tauranga City Council has also ordered an independent review into "all aspects leading up to" the landslide.
The recovery operation was paused on Sunday due to fears of another slip at the site, but has since resumed on Tuesday.
Bay of Plenty District Commander Superintendent Tim Anderson said police were consulting experts and bringing in more sophisticated equipment to try to understand the area.
