DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Connells Point 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, large-scale homes, and all foreshore developments.

  • Necessary where environmental or flooding constraints apply.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Possible for new single dwellings and alterations on standard lots.

  • Limited for waterfront and complex designs due to council overlays.
