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

  • Necessary for waterfront properties, duplexes, or where design variations apply.

  • Required where environmental protections or foreshore setbacks are triggered.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for straightforward new homes, extensions, or secondary dwellings.

  • Provides a faster approval process if your design meets all requirements.
