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

Mosman projects may follow either a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC) process depending on site factors and project scale.

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

DA (Development Application):

  • Needed for waterfront homes, heritage overlays, and projects exceeding CDC limits.

  • Required for bespoke multi-level prestige residences.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for compliant single dwellings and extensions.

  • Faster approval where all planning and environmental controls are met.
