DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Bado-berong 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):

  • Required for developments near the creek or environmentally sensitive areas.

  • Necessary for duplexes, townhouses, or projects seeking variations beyond CDC standards.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for straightforward single dwellings and alterations away from creek constraints.

  • Provides a faster approval pathway if all planning controls are met.
