Honuÿapo Pier Restoration
Proposed Improvement idea: The Kaÿu community has expressed a strong interest
in seeing the historic pier located at the south end of Honuÿapo Park restored for
recreational purposes. Restoration of the pier for pedestrian access and fishing
would need to include the performance of a structural evaluation of existing
concrete pilings and new construction work to restore structural integrity.
Restoration would also include the installation of wooden decking for pedestrian
access, safety rails and signage.
Implementation and Management Issues: The historic pier is owned by the State’s
Department of Land and Natural Resources, Land Division, and is not part of the
Honuÿapo Park property. Restoration implementation would have to be undertaken
by DLNR or with DLNR supervision and approval.
Due to the rough ocean conditions prevailing along the Kaÿü Coast and at
Honuÿapo Bay, restoration of the pier for recreational use could carry significant
liability for DLNR. DLNR would also be responsible for long-term management and
maintenance of the pier. At this time, DLNR does not have any plan for restoration
of this pier.
Required documents and permits: Project-specific Environmental Assessment, SMA
permit, State CDUP; Archaeological Preservation Plan.
