Complying Development

What is Complying Development?

A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) is a fast track alternative pathway of development approval that is assessed under the NSW State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 (SEPP).
It is a quicker, more streamlined assessment process and can be approved by an Accredited Certifier, rather than gaining approval via your Local Council.

There are a range of developments that can be approved as a CDC such as in-ground pools, small additions / alterations and up to new 2 storey dwellings.
If your project complies with the minimum specified development standards set out in the SEPP codes, it can be approved as Complying Development getting you to the construction phase faster.

Saving You Time and Money

Although the duration for gaining approval under a CDC is faster than a DA, the documentation and administrative requirements are similar.

At Dynamic Approvals we take the stress out of the CDC process by putting together paperwork, making the applications and liaising with your Certifier and any consultants required for the assessment.

Examples of Complying Development*

  • Renovations to a home.

  • Development of a granny flat.

  • Building a swimming pool.

  • Property extensions (up to two storeys)

  • Building a garage or carport.

  • The construction of a new industrial building.

  • Alterations and additions to industrial and commercial buildings.

* Please note: Not all properties or developments will comply under the fast track Complying Development pathway of assessment & Dynamic Approvals has no authority over which pathway will be required. Compliance under the SEPP Codes is a strict black and white piece of legislation that provides no flexibility in determining a developments approval pathway.
We do our best however to offer solutions to getting the fastest possible approval outcome.
