DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Stanhope Gardens 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, dual occupancies, or non-standard proposals.
Needed if designs fall outside CDC criteria or estate guidelines.
CDC (Complying Development Certificate):
Streamlined approval for compliant single dwellings, extensions, and granny flats.
Faster pathway for standard estate-compliant projects.
