Complying Development in Sydney

Fast-Track Your Project with a CDC

A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) offers a fast-track approval for projects that meet specific criteria. At Banksia Building Design, we take the stress out of the process, ensuring your project is compliant and ready for private certifier approval.

By avoiding council involvement and neighbour consultations, a CDC speeds up the approval process. Our team works directly with private certifiers, helping you get started sooner, whether you're building or renovating.

Why Choose Us for Your CDC Approval?

With years of experience navigating Sydney’s CDC approval process, we ensure your project meets the required criteria. We handle everything from confirming lot size, aircraft noise and flood area compliance to preparing and submitting documentation. Even if your site presents challenges, it is still possible to secure CDC approval provided there are no restrictions in the section 10.7 planning certificate.

Feasibility and Compliance Assessments

Before starting your CDC application, we conduct a feasibility assessment to ensure your project meets CDC criteria. This includes reviewing zoning, lot size, and State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPP), helping avoid delays and ensuring eligibility.

Preparation of Plans and Documentation

We handle all necessary drawings, site plans, and supporting documents for CDC submission, ensuring full compliance with council and state guidelines. If additional documents are needed, our network of trusted consultants is ready to assist, ensuring everything is prepared for fast private certifier approval.

Private Certifier Liaison

Unlike the DA process, a CDC is approved by private certifiers rather than council. We manage all communication with certifiers, ensuring your project meets their requirements for a smooth, quick approval. Our expertise with CDCs in Sydney ensures the process remains efficient from start to finish.
