DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Dean 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):

  • Needed for multi-dwelling projects, townhouses, or when seeking variations from CDC requirements.

  • Required for sites impacted by environmental or heritage constraints.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

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

  • Provides faster approvals if all standards are met.
