The cyclone clean-up in Hawkes Bay has been given a cash injection, but officials say it's not enough.

The Government's announced another $10 million in funding for the region, on top of the $130 million already given.

After the cyclone, local officials told the Government it's going to be a $200 million dollar job, at least.

Hawkes Bay Regional Council's Hinewai Ormsby says there's still a lot of silt to clean up.

"In terms of getting the job done, completed and getting our economy back to the state it was - being the fruit bowl of New Zealand - we're going to need far more support to get the job finished."
