DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Revesby 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-dwellings, or projects seeking variations.

  • Necessary for properties in flood-prone or environmentally sensitive zones.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for duplexes, single homes, and compliant knockdown-rebuilds.

  • Allows faster approval when all planning standards are met.
