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

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

DA (Development Application):

  • Needed for multi-dwelling projects or variations to estate design guidelines.

  • Required for homes near environmental buffers or golf course interface areas.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for single dwellings, duplexes, and compliant extensions.

  • Faster approvals for projects meeting Blacktown Council and estate controls.
