The County of Maui Department of ʻŌiwi Resources is currently working with Group 70 International, Inc. (G70) to develop the Lahaina Royal Complex Master Plan. The project scope includes hydrology and water policy; wildfire resiliency and risk planning; biological and ecological assessment; cultural landscape architecture; community engagement protocol; transportation circulation planning; topographical survey; cultural and archaeological studies; soils and geotechnical studies; and boundary mapping.
Provide your comments on the draft Action Plan online, by mail or in-person at the Lahaina Resource Center or Kāko‘o Maui Relief & Aid Services Center.
Historical Map of Lahaina, Maui, Hawai’i
Almost all of Lahaina’s historic buildings were damaged or completely destroyed in the August 2023 wildfire. Building foundations and some historic building materials remain; though significant planning, funding, coordination, and community engagement is needed to rebuild these historic structures. The fires also destroyed several of Lahaina’s museums, the Na ʻAikane o Maui Hawaiian cultural center, as well as many irreplaceable historical artifacts. A new museum space in Lahaina would provide a space to share the history of Lahaina and house artifacts, while a multicultural center would provide a space to learn, practice culture and strengthen the spiritual, mental and physical health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities. Lahaina has a rich history and culture, and it important to preserve and revitalize these historical and cultural spaces for the community.
This project will honor the culture and history of Lahaina by partnering with Lahaina community members, supporting government agencies, historic property owners, and community groups involved in historic and cultural preservation and restoration. This project includes key efforts such as:
Gaining consensus between groups, identification of leadership, funding, economic viability, and long-term funding and maintenance. Additionally, there are competing opinions on post-contact building/site restoration, shoreline management area (SMA) requirements, updated shoreline setbacks, and other land use controls for Front Street’s redevelopment.
