DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Beverly Hills 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 duplexes, townhouses, or developments that exceed CDC standards.

  • Needed for sites near heritage overlays or with design variations.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for single dwellings, knockdown-rebuilds, and extensions that fully meet council controls.

  • Faster approvals for straightforward, compliant builds.
