Complying Development Certificate (CDC) Approval Management
Get expert help for your Complying Development Approval.
We help you get it right from the start.
Complying Developments are a quick and easy way to build
Applying for a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) is a well-known alternative to applying for a Development Approval (DA) through the local Council
This fast-track approval is for low-impact developments that meet the standard planning conditions, including:
- New Homes
- Major Renovations
- House extensions, alterations or additions
- Sheds, pools and garden structures
- Granny flats or secondary dwellings
Many Australians opt for Complying Development to avoid the sometimes cumbersome and expensive DA process. However, your project plans must meet all the conditions and requirements of the State environmental Planning Policies (SEPP) in order to have them approved.
Can you build using Complying Development, instead of a Development Approval?
In some instances, it is possible to have a set of building plans that almost meet Complying Development guidelines but could only get approval through the local Council in their existing state.
This is identified early with Approved using our Assessment Pathway process.
Often our clients choose to amend their current plans slightly and utilise the Complying Development pathway instead of going through a potentially long Council Approval Process.
Approved do all the juggling for you.
Approved provides a holistic service in gaining a Complying Development Certificate approval.
Our team manage the entire approval process, coordinating and submitting all the necessary information required for Complying Development approval, avoiding potentially costly time delays.
- We engage a Private Certifier on your behalf to assess if your proposed development meets set parameters outlined by NSW Planning Guidelines.
- We coordinate communication from the Certifier, who may request more information required to gain approval.
- We coordinate all the supporting information for your approval, engaging other professionals if required.
- We collate and submit this information for the certifier to complete their assessment and issue the approval.
Once the approval has been issued, and the Principal Certifier is appointed, you are free to start building your project!
