DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Hassall Grove 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 projects, significant alterations, or builds outside CDC provisions.

  • Necessary for sites with overlays such as flooding or environmental constraints.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Ideal for new single dwellings, duplexes, or extensions that comply fully with Blacktown Council controls.

  • Streamlines approvals for straightforward residential projects.
