PLT Working Group

The PLT Working Group addresses issues related to public land trusts or public lands transactions in Hawaii, reviewing how state-managed lands are leased, transferred, or developed. The group advises on policy frameworks governing public land use to ensure transparency, accountability, and alignment with state land use goals. Its recommendations inform decisions by the 土地和自然資源委員會 and 州议会.

Hawaii's public lands are a finite resource that affect housing, conservation, agriculture, and Native Hawaiian rights — decisions about their use impact all residents. Members of the public can attend working group meetings and submit testimony on proposed land transactions and policies.
