DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Marsden Park 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 larger projects like townhouses or variations from estate guidelines.

  • Needed for sites with environmental or flooding overlays.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for single dwellings, granny flats, and duplexes that meet rules.

  • Faster approval option for standard lot sizes and compliant builds.
