West Kelowna's city council supports a proposed hike in development cost charges that would mean home builders would pay their 'fair share' for growth.

DCCs are fees developers pay to the municipality to help cover the costs of new public infrastructure associated with increased density, such as parks, roads, water, sewer and storm water systems.

Buying a new home in Kelowna will likely cost more because of a new Devleopment Cost Charge (DCC) recently approved by city council.
