DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Wyong 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 multi-dwellings, heritage precinct builds, or projects in flood-prone areas.

  • Common for designs outside standard planning controls.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

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

  • Offers faster approvals for straightforward builds on standard blocks.
