DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Willmot 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 or projects not meeting CDC standards.

  • May be necessary for bushfire-affected sites or design variations.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for compliant single homes, duplexes, or renovations.

  • Offers faster approval for straightforward residential projects.
