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

  • Required for multi-dwelling housing or projects outside standard CDC provisions.

  • Needed in bushfire-affected or environmentally sensitive areas.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Best suited for new single homes, extensions, and duplexes that meet planning standards.

  • Offers a faster approval pathway for straightforward projects.
