DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Pearl Beach 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 developments, luxury extensions, or projects seeking variations from CDC standards.

  • Necessary for sites with flood risk, cliffside locations, or bushfire considerations.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for single dwellings, duplexes, and extensions that meet council controls.

  • Allows faster approval for straightforward compliant projects.
