The public is invited to discuss infrastructure issues affecting West Maui and listen to county infrastructure officials during the panel discussion covering water, wastewater, roads and stormwater drainage.

The West Maui Community Plan guides future growth in West Maui, and is the first of Maui Island’s six community-specific plans to be updated since the Maui County Council adopted the Maui Island Plan in 2012.

The existing West Maui Community Plan was adopted in 1996.

The update process involves numerous community meetings and workshops followed by the formation of a Community Plan Advisory Committee, which will review a draft updated plan and provide recommendations. The Maui Planning Commission will then review the draft plan and provide recommendations to the Maui County Council, which ultimately adopts the plan.
