DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Wrights Creek Project?
A Development Application (DA) is almost always required here due to slope, bushfire, and environmental overlays.
Here’s a quick breakdown to help you understand the difference:
DA (Development Application):
We manage all reports, including bushfire and site slope assessments
Ideal for rural homes, cabins, or even staged developments
CDC (Complying Development Certificate):
Rarely viable due to bushfire zoning and site limitations
