DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Revesby Heights 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 homes on bushfire-prone or sloping blocks.

  • Necessary for larger developments or variations to planning controls.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for compliant single dwellings or duplexes on standard blocks.
