DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Kingsgrove 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 duplexes, multi-dwelling housing, or homes with design variations.

  • Needed if heritage or specific planning controls apply.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for compliant single homes, extensions, or renovations.

  • Faster approval pathway when designs align with SEPP and council standards.
