DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Badgerys Creek 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):

  • Often required for new homes in rezoning transition areas or on land impacted by airport safeguarding.

  • Necessary for developments on rural blocks, large dwellings, or sites subject to environmental overlays.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for single dwellings and extensions that fully meet council and state planning codes.

  • Provides faster approvals for straightforward projects on standard or existing residential blocks.
