DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Green 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 multi-dwelling developments, townhouses, or projects seeking variations from council controls.

  • Necessary for waterfront lots or environmentally sensitive areas.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for single dwellings and minor extensions that comply with council standards.

  • Provides a faster approval pathway for compliant projects.
