Auckland Emergency Management says instability of the ground around homes in Muriwai and Piha is still of serious concern.
Planning is underway to allow some people to briefly return to red-stickered homes in the two suburbs to grab valuable items and essentials.
But for those in Domain Road in Muriwai, there is no possibility of safe access at the moment due to the nature of the slips.
Auckland Emergency Management controller Adam Maggs spoke to Guyon Espiner.
