DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Doyalson North 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, large renovations, or sites with environmental or bushfire considerations.

  • Necessary when proposed designs vary from standard council controls.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for single dwellings, duplexes, and minor extensions that fully comply with council rules.

  • Provides a faster approval process for compliant projects on standard lots.
