The Official Plan Monitoring Report currently under development will track the implementation of the City’s Official Plan. This year the OP Monitoring Plan is meant to set a baseline for future monitoring of progress. It is an important project and challenging project. It will evolve as more data becomes available and as indicators are tested.
FCA was asked to provide advice to the Official Plan Monitoring Plan development team. Our comments have drawn from experience in public sector reform meant to achieve outcomes by using data and evidence to improve institutional learning, decisions, performance and accountability for outcomes. FCA has chosen to focus largely on the governance of high-level strategies and on the importance of setting measurable strategic objectives or outcomes aimed at improvement in the quality of life for people in Ottawa and improvement in their natural and built environment so that Ottawa becomes the Most Liveable Mid Sized City in North America.
