DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Quakers Hill 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 townhouse developments, multi-dwelling projects, or where bushfire or environmental overlays apply.

  • Needed if seeking variations from CDC standards.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Ideal for single homes, duplexes, and compliant extensions.

  • Offers quicker approval for straightforward, regulation-aligned projects.
