DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Oxley 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 housing, dual occupancies, and developments on constrained lots.

  • Necessary for unique designs or projects outside CDC controls.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for standard single dwellings, alterations, or granny flats.

  • Offers a faster pathway for compliant residential projects.
