DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Wetherill 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):

  • Needed for duplexes on irregular lots or designs near industrial areas.

  • Required for multi-dwellings or townhouse-style projects.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Best for knockdown-rebuilds or duplexes that meet all planning rules.

  • Faster pathway for compliant, straightforward projects.
