Servicing Greater Sydney, NSW
Fast-Track Approval

Complying Development Certificates (CDC)

A combined planning and building approval process that bypasses Council DA for eligible residential developments.

What is Complying Development?

Complying Development is a fast-track approval pathway for straightforward residential developments in NSW. If your project meets specific predetermined development standards in the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, you do not require a separate Council Development Application (DA).

A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) combines both planning approval and building certification into a single assessment issued by an accredited certifier.

Common Projects Eligible for CDC:

New single or two-storey residential dwellings
Home additions, extensions, and second-storey additions
Secondary dwellings (granny flats)
Swimming pools and safety barriers
Detached garages, carports, and sheds
Internal residential renovations & alterations
