What's Being Discussed
The Maui County Council's Disaster Recovery, International Affairs, and Planning (DRIP) Committee is holding a public meeting to review a proposed update to the South Maui Community Plan. This plan would replace the older Kihei-Makena Community Plan and set the long-term vision and policies for land use, development, and community priorities in the South Maui region.

The Planning Department will present an overview of the proposed South Maui Community Plan.
Council members will review how the plan has changed throughout its development and how its policies connect to broader county-wide planning goals.
The public will have an opportunity to testify and share feedback on the proposed plan.

Decisions Expected
No votes or formal actions will be taken at this meeting. This session is for receiving public testimony and discussing the community plan review process only. Future meetings may include legislative action on Bill 108 (2026), which is the formal bill needed to officially adopt the new plan.

Who Should Pay Attention

Residents of South Maui, particularly those in the Kihei and Makena areas, as this plan will guide future development and land use decisions in their communities.
Property owners, businesses, and developers operating in or planning projects in South Maui.
Anyone interested in shaping South Maui's future — this is a key opportunity to provide public input before the plan is formally adopted.

The meeting is in-person only at the Kihei Community Center, 303 East Lipoa Street, on Monday, September 14, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Written testimony can also be submitted online or by email.
