County Council Update with Olivia Franco | July 16th Meeting

Kaua'i's coastlines are changing-and so are the rules for building near them. In this week's County Council Update, Olivia breaks down the new Shoreline Setback Bill: what a setback is, why the County is updating it, and how it impacts property owners, public access, and the health of our beaches.

From erosion rates to climate buffers, this bill uses real science to create safer, smarter boundaries along the coast. Learn how it could affect oceanfront living in places like Hanalei, Poʻipū, Kekaha, and beyond.
