DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Erskine 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 developments or projects near environmental constraints.

  • Required when seeking flexibility beyond CDC provisions.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

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

  • Provides faster approval where all planning standards are met.
