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 townhouses, apartments, or projects that need variations to CDC standards.

  • Necessary for sites near heritage properties or with overlays.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for new single dwellings, duplexes, or extensions that meet all standards.

  • Enables faster approvals for straightforward, compliant developments
