Hopes some relief for businesses will be on the cards in a public meeting to discuss the future of Mount Maunganui this evening.

Mauao has been closed to the public ever since a landslide killed six holiday-makers almost 100 days ago.

The Mt Maunganui Ratepayers, Residents and Retailers Association expects discussions tonight about allowing one route to the top of the mount.

President Michael O'Neill says businesses rely on the patronage of people using the mount.

He explained the same goes for people using the campground, hot pools, and boat ramp - all of which are closed.
