What's Being Discussed

This is a reconvened meeting of the Maui County Council's Disaster Recovery, International Affairs, and Planning Committee, continuing work that began on October 5, 2026. The main topic is:

• Bill 108 (2026) – South Maui Community Plan Update: A proposal to replace the older Kihei-Makena Community Plan with a new South Maui Community Plan. The committee will focus primarily on Section 3 (Growth Framework), which outlines how the South Maui region is expected to grow and develop. They may also review Section 1 (Plan Framework) and Section 5 (Appendices).

Decisions Expected

• No final vote will be taken on the Growth Framework section (Section 3) at this meeting — it is discussion only.
• The committee may consider and vote on amendments to other sections of the plan, such as the Plan Framework and Appendices.
• No final passage of Bill 108 is expected at this session.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Residents of South Maui (Kihei, Makena, and surrounding areas) who are affected by future land use and development decisions
• Property owners, businesses, and developers operating in the South Maui region
• Environmental and community advocates concerned with how South Maui will grow over time
• Anyone interested in long-range planning policy for Maui County
