A Development Application (DA) is assessed by your local council and is generally required for projects that don’t meet the criteria for complying development or involve more complex planning considerations.

A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) is a faster approval pathway that can be issued by an accredited certifier when a project meets specific planning and development standards.

The right approval pathway depends on your property, the proposed renovation and the applicable planning controls. We’ll assess your project and guide you through the process, helping you determine the most suitable option before work begins.
