DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Wentworthville Project?

Wether its a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC), we’ll help you determine the fastest and most compliant approval pathway.

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

DA (Development Application):

  • Necessary for duplexes, multi-dwellings, or non-compliant builds.

  • Required for works in heritage conservation zones.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for compliant single dwellings, secondary dwellings, or minor alterations.
