Waiākea Peninsula
Master Plan
Waiākea Peninsula, located on the shore of Hilo Bay between downtown Hilo and the community of Keaukaha, is a gathering place for both Hilo residents and visitors. It is a familiar and cherished place that draws the community together for celebrations, cultural events and ocean and outdoor recreational activities. It is also a visitor destination framed by the iconic Banyan Drive and Hilo’s largest hotels.
Project Overview
The Hawai‘i Community Development Authority (HCDA) is embarking on a master planning process for the Waiākea Peninsula in Hilo, Hawai‘i. The master plan will develop a long-term vision to guide land use, redevelopment, and infrastructure improvements in a manner that honors the unique cultural, environmental, economic, and recreational resources within the area.
