WAIMEA NUI REGIONAL PLAN UPDATE (2025)

Regional Plans are a part of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands’ tiered Planning system, and focus at the homestead community and regional level. Regional Plans are prepared through extensive beneficiary engagement and are approved by the Hawaiian Homes Commission. Across the islands, there are a total of 23 Regional Plans, and the last regional planning process for Waimea Nui taking place in 2012. This update to the Waimea Nui Regional Plan will include three (4) beneficiary consultations where a vision, community values, and priority projects will be identified. The Regional Planning process is meant to help build capacity and a sense of community, stimulate partnerships that aid the homestead community in reaching their goals, and give beneficiaries an opportunity to work together with DHHL in planning for their future.

The existing Waimea Nui Regional Plan was approved in 2012 and is being updated to reflect the current needs, vision, values and priorities of the Waimea Nui homestead community. If you have any questions, or for more information, please contact Lillie Makaila, DHHL Planning Office at [email protected]
