ECC
The Environmental Control Committee (ECC) is a volunteer committee that reviews property improvement applications for compliance with the WVA’s Declaration of Protective Covenants and Environmental Rules and Improvement Standards. New Home Construction and Property Improvement Applications must be submitted online through WVA’s HOALife portal.
As a Waikōloa Village Association (WVA) member, it is important to note that New Home Construction and exterior-property improvements must comply with the WVA’s Declaration of Protective Covenants (DOPC/CC&R's) and the WVA’s Environmental Rules and Improvement Standards (ERIS), and be reviewed by the WVA’s Environmental Control Committee (ECC) before job site work begins.
New Home Construction
The first step to building a new home in The Village is to request a New Home Packet (NHP) from the WVA. The NHP contains all of the information and forms that you will need to help guide you through the ECC’s new home review and approval process.
As as an owner, you are responsible for making sure that all of your contractors abide by the WVA’s Covenants, ERIS and ECC review and approval procedures. It is highly recommended that members obtain this packet before they engage an architect or start their new home project. At this time, the packet is not available online.
Members can obtain a copy of this packet by calling the Environmental Control Manager at (808) 883-8888 or email ecc@wvagolf.com. Please be sure to include your mailing address and a telephone number in your email New Home Packet request.
Have questions? Call the Environmental Control Manager at 808-883-8888 or email ecc@wvagolf.com for assistance.
