DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Mount Pritchard 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 irregular blocks, duplexes with variations, or multi-dwelling projects.

  • Necessary where slope or drainage impacts compliance.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for straightforward duplexes, knockdown-rebuilds, and compliant extensions.

  • A faster option when land conditions allow.
