Complying Development Certificate (CDC)
Development Application (DA) A Development Application (referred to as a DA) is an application to build a new home that is obtained through Council. A completed DA includes a range of comprehensive documents including specialist reports and any matters required for the DA as listed in the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation. Clarendon Homes will take care of this application for you, although the timeframe for approval will depend on which Council the application is logged with. Most councils determine straightforward and complete applications in 40 days or less. It is important to note, neighbours will be notified of your development approval, and will have a chance to comment.
It is now possible to carry out low impact developments without having to lodge a development application (DA) through Council, using the State wide complying development code. The Complying development is a key part of the planning system, saving applicants significant time and money. Complying development is a combined planning and construction approval for development that meets pre-determined development standards. Determination of a complying development application (CDC) relies on a code-based assessment. A private accredited certifier can issue a CDC. CDC is a strictly numerical code assessment, there this no merit based assessment and strict compliance is required. CDC applications must be notified to the neighbours but they have no impact on the decision of the application.
