DA vs CDC: What’s Right for Your Yagoona 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 sites and projects exceeding CDC controls.

  • Necessary for properties with overlays or complex site constraints.

CDC (Complying Development Certificate):

  • Ideal for compliant single homes and duplexes.

  • Provides a faster, simplified approval process for straightforward builds.
