CDC Lodgement & Development Application Services

For the majority, most people within NSW comprehend that if someone needs to undertake renovations to their property, add an extension or even looking to build a new home, they need to get approval from their local Council. This process is what we refer to as ‘obtaining development consent’, and requires a development application (DA) lodgement, which can take up to 3 months to get approved.

OUR CDC LODGEMENT SERVICES

A CDC is a Development Application and a Construction Certificate combined to one and is ever-growing in popularity due to its flexibility. It allows certain residential developments to be fast-tracked as it eliminates neighbour objections and council involvement.

The following development projects can be approved under a complying development certificate service:

  • New dwellings in residential zones
  • Additions to dwellings in residential zones
  • Minor internal alterations to residential developments
  • New commercial/industrial developments
  • Granny flats
  • Townhouses and dual occupancy dwellings (certain Council areas)

If you’re looking to develop a building as a CDC, we can be the certifying applicant to provide the necessary documentation and detailed floor plans to ensure that your project fully complies to construction standards and requirements. We can provide the checklist outlining that all requirements have been met before construction commences.
