DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Osborne 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 multi-dwelling projects, major renovations, or builds outside CDC parameters.
Necessary for sites impacted by heritage or environmental overlays.
CDC (Complying Development Certificate):
Suitable for compliant single dwellings, duplexes, and certain extensions within zoning controls.
Enables faster approvals for straightforward, regulation-compliant projects.
