DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Bidwill 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 multi-dwelling developments, townhouse projects, or variations from CDC standards.

  • Necessary if building on sites with constraints or overlays.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for new homes, duplexes, and renovations that meet all requirements.

  • Offers a streamlined approval pathway for compliant projects.
