DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Rockdale Bicentennial Park Project?

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you understand the difference:

DA (Development Application):

  • Required for multi-dwellings, townhouses, or projects that vary from CDC rules.

  • Necessary for blocks with environmental or drainage constraints.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):
