Important Community Hearing September 26 at Honolulu Hale

Defend Oahu Coalition will deliver their petition calling for the city council to review, modify, or amend the 20 year old SMA permits at a special community hearing on Tuesday September 26 at Honolulu Hale. Supporters are encouraged to bring signs for sign waving at 9:30 am. The meeting will occur at 10:00 am.

This is another step in an effort organized by Defend Oahu Coalition (DOC) and North Shore community members to stop efforts by the Turtle Bay Resort to go ahead with expansion plans. The expansion is based on approvals by the city council made over 20 years ago. The coalition reports that October 26 is the Department of Planning and Permitting's (DPP) deadline. Community involvement and islandwide attendance is encouraged at this hearing.

Check out the Defend Oahu Coalition website for more details.
