Simultaneous protests against Oaktree Capital's Massive Turtle Bay Expansion

Defend Oahu Coalition is holding simultaneous protests against the tentative permit approval for mainland-based Oaktree Capital Management’s proposed 3500 unit expansion of Turtle Bay Resort from Kawela Bay to Kuilima Point. DOC is also calling on elected officials to speak up and represent the North Shore residents interests. Resolutions that could stop or alter the
proposed development have remained frozen in City Council Committees. DOC is calling upon the Mayor and City council to represent their constituents and taxpayers against the 20 year old plan, calling for new Environmental Studies and holding new hearings with public participation.

Protests are occurring Wednesday Oct. 25 from 4-6 pm in front of Honolulu Hale (City Hall) and in front of the Turtle Bay Resort.

Also of note is the continued silence of the Turtle Bay Resort management. The resort website has no information of expansion or intentions of expansion. Likewise, Oaktree Capital Management and Benchmark Hospitality websites offer no information on the expansion.
