DA or CDC? Find out in 90 seconds.
Most Sydney homeowners get this wrong — and it costs them three to six months of their build. Answer five quick questions and we'll tell you which approval pathway your project actually needs, what it'll cost in time, and what to do next.
No email needed to see your result. 100% free. Built by 10-year council approval veterans.
Why this matters
A CDC (Complying Development Certificate) is fast — often 21 days — but only available if your project meets specific rules.
A DA (Development Application) goes through council, takes 6–12+ weeks, but covers anything outside the CDC rules.
Pick the wrong one and you'll waste months. Start the checker and we'll tell you which one fits your project before you spend a cent on plans.
90 seconds. No email needed.
