DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Central Park 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 apartments, multi-dwelling projects, or any development exceeding CDC standards.

  • Necessary for projects seeking variations from standard controls.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for single dwellings, duplexes, and townhouse developments fully meeting council controls.

  • Limited applicability for high-density or mixed-use projects.
