DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Wyong Creek 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 most rural homes, secondary dwellings, and sheds.

  • Necessary for properties on bushfire-prone or environmentally sensitive land.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Sometimes available for straightforward secondary dwellings or extensions.

  • Limited applicability due to rural zoning and bushfire overlays.
