DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Jew Fish 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 waterfront properties, duplexes, or non-standard proposals.

  • Required when vegetation or foreshore overlays are in effect.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for new single dwellings, extensions, or rebuilds that fit council codes.

  • Offers a faster route for straightforward, compliant designs.
