About the OCP
West Kelowna is home to nearly 39,000 people and by 2040 we expect to welcome an additional 12,000 new residents to our community. To help guide this growth, we are updating our OCP to establish policies that make West Kelowna a great place to live, work and play and reflect the Community Vision established in 2021. All municipalities, regional districts, and the Islands Trust in British Columbia have the authority to create an official community plan.
Our OCP is a blueprint for how our community should evolve to meet our collective vision and accommodate growth. The OCP applies to all of our West Kelowna community and is the main policy that Council uses to guide decisions that may include:
