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

  • Needed for developments outside CDC guidelines or affecting the foreshore.

  • Common for large-scale renovations or multi-dwelling projects.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for compliant single dwellings, duplexes, and extensions within zoning standards.

  • Enables faster approval for straightforward projects.
