DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Jew Fish Bay 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 waterfront blocks, duplexes, and non-standard designs.

  • Necessary where bushland, foreshore, or environmental protections apply.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for straightforward new builds or alterations that meet planning controls.

  • Provides a faster pathway for compliant single dwellings.
