Great places to live happen because great people share their vision and ideas and work together to build the future they want.

What is an Official Community Plan (OCP)?

Our Official Community Plan is our guiding plan; it puts our Community Vision into action to shape the bright future of West Kelowna. It talks about how and where things may be built in our city. It shows how we will steward our natural resources, agricultural lands, and social assets. It envisions how emerging technologies might change the ways we live in the future. 

Our OCP is a key resource for managing progress in our community. It is a blueprint for how our community should evolve to meet our collective vision and accommodate growth. The OCP applies to the whole West Kelowna community and is the main policy that Council uses to guide decisions that may include:
