Official Community Plan

What is an Official Community Plan (OCP)?

Our official Community Plan is our physical growth plan that puts our Community Vision into action. It talks about how and where things will be built in our city. How we will steward our natural resources, agricultural lands, and social assets. How emerging technologies might change how we live in the future. It is our guiding plan for the future of West Kelowna. 

 Our OCP is the main tool for managing change in our community over the long-term. It identifies what can be built where, and what it should look like. It tells us how our community should grow, develop, and change to meet our collective vision. The OCP applies to the whole West Kelowna community and is the main policy that Council uses to make decisions on topics that may include:
