DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Jordan Springs 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 projects that do not comply with estate guidelines or seek variations from CDC standards.

  • Necessary for certain sites with bushfire or flood overlays.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for compliant single dwellings, duplexes, and extensions.

  • Provides a quicker pathway for standard residential builds.
