MONITORING & REVIEW
5.2.6 MONITORING & REVIEW A Parks Master Plan is implemented over time through key actions and ongoing efforts. Monitoring and review allows the City and residents to review progress, confirm steps taken, and make adjustments if needed to be responsive to changes within the City and broader global context.
M1 ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT
M2 PLAN REVIEWS & UPDATES
f Planning for parks is not a static event. Frequent re-evaluation of goals, capital projects, opportunities, and policies is necessary as a community grows and develops.
f This plan provides a ten-year set of priorities. While it is anticipated that the projects defined during this process will continue to be important to the community of West Kelowna, it should also be expected that new priorities and opportunities may emerge.
f In recent years, a particular emerging challenge has been accurate budget estimating as material availability, labour costs, interest rates, and other factors have shifted costs rapidly, and at times, unpredictably. Ongoing review and adjustment of budgets and timelines can be expected over the course of implementation.
f The City should be prepared to take advantage of opportunities that arise that may not have been identified within the plan’s ten-year priorities. f A five-year review of the plan is recommended to review community priorities, evaluate accomplishments, consider emerging opportunities, and develop an updated set of actions.
