DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Angus Project?

Whether it’s a Development Application (DA) or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), we’ll guide you in finding the fastest and most compliant approval pathway—anywhere in New South Wales.

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you understand the difference:

DA (Development Application):

  • Needed for multi-dwelling housing, subdivisions, or rural-zoned properties with overlays.

  • Required when dealing with flood-affected or bushfire-prone land.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suited for single dwellings and duplexes in residential estates that fully comply with zoning and code.

  • Provides a streamlined approval process for straightforward builds.
