Through Regional Government Council Resolution no. 114/2026, the amendment to the 1st Revision of the Calheta Municipal Master Plan (PDM) was ratified.

The assessment zones covered by the reclassification to 'Other Coastal Zone Uses' include: Arco da Calheta (Faja do Mar, Faja and Serra Agua), Calheta (Sao Joao), Estreito da Calheta (three zones), Jardim do Mar and Ponta do Pargo (Golf).
