DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Tregear 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 multi-dwelling projects, townhouses, or variations from standard rules.

  • Necessary for bushfire-prone or environmentally sensitive sites.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Ideal for single homes, duplexes, or extensions that meet all Council and SEPP standards.

  • Provides faster approval for straightforward projects.
