DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Wendoree Park 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 most new homes, particularly on bushfire-prone or steeply sloping land.

  • Necessary for projects that vary from standard council setbacks or environmental overlays.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Rarely applicable due to environmental and bushfire constraints.

  • Only suitable for minor alterations or compliant dwellings on flatter sites.
