DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Lansvale 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 riverfront lots with flood overlays.

  • Necessary for multi-dwelling housing or variations to controls.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for knockdown-rebuilds and duplexes that comply with controls.

  • Provides faster approvals when flooding and zoning do not apply.
