A New Community for All

The long-vacant 16-hectare mill site in Kelowna’s North End neighbourhood is being reimagined as a socially innovative community that honours the historic grit and character of its setting and reflects the needs and wishes of the people who call Kelowna home today.

After years of planning with some of Canada’s best master planners and architects, the City of Kelowna, and community members like you, we’re excited to show you our proposed plan that brings together residents, businesses, entertainment, and community into a unique and sustainable new neighbourhood that will honour the industrial past while shaping this city’s future.

North End Neighbourhood Plan

The North End Neighbourhood Planning and the Mill Site Area Redevelopment Planning are distinct processes with similar timelines – with the City’s North End process taking the lead.

The two planning processes will align through information sharing and overlapping community input opportunities.

On completion, the Mill Site Area Redevelopment Plan will integrate the vision, objectives and policy direction created through the North End Neighbourhood Plan process.
