Complying Development Certificate Application Forms
The CDC process involves submitting an application to a private certifier or the local council, who will assess the proposed development against the predetermined standards and requirements. If the development meets all the necessary criteria, a Complying Development Certificate will be issued, granting approval for the proposed works to proceed.
One of the key benefits of a CDC is its efficiency and shorter processing time compared to a traditional DA. Since the standards and requirements are predefined, the assessment process is faster, allowing for a quicker turnaround time. It provides certainty to applicants, saving them from the potential delays and uncertainties associated with the regular DA process.

What is Complying Development?
Complying development is a combined planning and construction approval for straightforward development that can be determined through a fast-track assessment by a council or an accredited certifier.
Complying development applies to homes, businesses and industry and allows for a range of things like the construction of a new dwelling house, alterations and additions to a house, new industrial buildings, demolition of a building, and changes to a business use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the process differ if a private certifier is involved rather than the council?
No, it doesn't. The same standards apply regardless of whether the application is determined by a private certifier or a council.
What are the benefits of hiring a private certifier?
Hiring a private certifier offers several benefits, such as faster turnaround times, personalized service, flexibility in project management, expert advice, and a streamlined certification process.
How long does the CDC Process take?
Most development is affected by the requirements of Notify Neighbouring Properties.
This consists of a 14 day pre-approval notification period, as well as a 7 day post approval, pre commencement period.
It is important to use this period to the best of your ability to get the relevant documentation and information in order with your certifier.
