Todd has the latest on Auckland's weather emergency recovery, with the large and popular west coast community of Muriwai remaining a no-go zone and months of uncertainty ahead for residents.

Authorities are working on the longer term cost and impact, such as the $250m bill Watercare expects to face in restoring its networks.

Also, Auckland Council is putting the brakes on immediate spending as it grinds through the process of trying to close a $295m deficit next year.
