Complying Development Certificate NSW (Subdivision)
Want to speed up approval for changes to your property? Applying for a Complying Development Certificate may help streamline the process.
What is a Complying Development Certificate (CDC)
A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) NSW refers to a streamlined development approval process for certain low-impact building works and subdivision. Complying Development Certificates offers the best alternative pathway for the development approval process. It combines planning and construction approval into one development.
It is a faster approval alternative compared to a traditional development application process. If you have development projects that meet specific criteria and qualifications, then, with the help of the CDC, you can begin construction or subdivision sooner, saving time and resources.
Qualifying for CDC
If you want to be eligible for a complying development certificate application then your subdivision project must comply with the relevant development standards set out in the SEPP and any applicable Local Environmental Planning Policies.
These criteria commonly include minimum lot sizes. If you comply with these criteria, you are suitable for the CDC pathway.
