Capital Projects
We’re investing in big capital projects to meet the needs of our growing city.
Kelowna is growing fast. In response, we’re accelerating investment in crucial capital projects like roads, underground utilities, recreation facilities, and so much more – so we can keep pace with growth. See how we're building the City of the Future one infrastructure project at a time.

Projects are planned for the next decade
The 10-Year Capital Plan is our City’s blueprint for big infrastructure investments over the next decade. The plan is endorsed each year by Council, and approved projects are included in the annual City Budget. The 10-Year Capital Plan is informed by the Official Community Plan master growth strategy and the 2030 Infrastructure Plan.

Infrastructure is a big part of our budget
In 2025, capital projects account for 44% of our Preliminary Budget—nearly double the rate of investment from years past. See how we're ramping up investment to tackle the infrastructure deficit and make Kelowna a great place to live, play, visit and invest.

Big projects, shared costs
Big projects come with big price tags. Luckily we’re sharing the cost of new capital projects with developers using Development Cost Charges (DCC). The City’s 20-year Servicing Plan outlines our cost-sharing approach to development—so we can accommodate future growth while minimizing the tax burden on our residents.

Raising project funds as we go
We've changed the way we fund multi-year capital projects to remove barriers to development. Instead of securing all funds upfront, we're now raising project funds annually. This streamlined cash flow model minimizes carryover funds from one budget to the next and ensures a steady, predictable tax demand. The proof is in the budget.
