DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Liberty Grove 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):

  • Typically required for multi-dwelling projects, townhouses, or developments seeking variations from CDC standards.

  • Necessary for sites with strata or community title restrictions.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for straightforward alterations, renovations, and extensions that meet all zoning and planning requirements.

  • Provides a faster approval path for compliant projects.
