Draft West Maui Community Plan

The current version of the Draft Plan posted below is the result of comprehensive review by three entities between 2019 and 2021: a 10-month review by members of the West Maui Community Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC), a 5-month review by members of the Maui Planning Commission (MPC) and a 6-month review by the Council’s Planning and Sustainable Land Use Committee (PSLU). The Draft Plan builds upon extensive community input, coordination with other County and State departments, and best planning practices to promote complete, healthy and resilient communities. This version is slated for final review and adoption by the Maui County Council in the coming months.

The Draft Plan provides a long-term vision for West Maui and serves as a policy guide for County agencies, the Maui Planning Commission, and County Council on projects and decisions that impact West Maui.

As you review the Draft Plan, you will notice that its format is significantly different from the 1996 Plan. We have written and structured the Draft Plan to address the interconnection of many of the issues, and potential strategies, faced in West Maui. The Draft Plan is organized by five sections: Plan Framework, Policy Framework, Growth Framework, Implementation and Monitoring, and Appendices. Through this framework, the Draft Plan lays out the community’s vision, goals, policies, actions, and Growth Framework that will guide decision-making.
