DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Turrella 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 projects near creek corridors, flood-prone areas, or environmental overlays.

  • Needed for duplexes, multi-dwellings, or designs that don’t fit standard CDC controls.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Suitable for single homes and knockdown-rebuilds on compliant blocks.

  • Allows faster approvals when designs meet all council criteria.
