Maui County lifted restrictions Friday for one beach access zone and three residential zones in Lahaina where homes survived the Aug. 8 wildfire.

Owners and residents can now access the following areas:

• Residential Zone 5C: Ipukula Way, South Nahale Place.

• Residential Zone 9M: Kanakea Loop, Kanakea Place, Kahako Street, Kaakolu Street, Kahena Street. Local access only and proof of residency required.

Residential Zone 9M in Lahaina, which includes homes near the bypass that survived the fire, reopened on Friday, with proof of residency required to access the area. Screenshots of MauiRecovers.org

• Residential Zone 16A: Pualei Drive, Puamelia Place, Puakukui Place. Local access only and proof of residency required.

• Maritime Zone 17D: Between Launiupoko Beach Park and Kauaula Stream (beach access). Restrictions have been lifted by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Because homes in these areas were not affected by the fire, supported reentry days will not be held, the county said in a news release Friday.

To access residential zones 9M and 16A, residents will be asked to provide an ID showing their address within the zone, or an ID plus additional documentation as proof of occupancy, which can include a property deed or title, utility bills, property tax records, lease agreement, Hawaii driver’s license, vehicle registration, voter registration, financial statements, insurance documents or a notarized affidavit from a property owner or landlord confirming residency or ownership.

Restrictions will also be lifted at 6 a.m. Saturday for Zone 6A, which includes Mala Wharf and part of Front Street. The state and county announced Thursday that the wharf would reopen to recreational access Saturday, earlier than anticipated after bathroom facilities were cleaned and a trailer was brought to house staff. Nonpotable county water and wastewater utilities are available on-site.

To access the wharf, drivers should turn left onto Kapunakea Street from Honoapiilani Highway, then turn left onto Front Street and turn makai onto Mala Wharf Road.

People will be allowed to use the facility to access vessels moored offshore.

Commercial operations at Mala will resume Monday.
