2. ➔ A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) is a simplified
planning approval that streamlines the development process
for certain types of construction without requiring a complete
development application. CDCs are particularly advantageous
for those undertaking minor development projects such as
small-scale home renovations, sheds, carports, granny flats,
and similar developments.
➔ To be eligible for a CDC, your proposed development must
meet certain criteria. The eligibility criteria vary depending on
the local council or certifier, as well as the specific rules and
regulations in your area. Generally, CDCs are available for
minor development projects that comply with the relevant
planning controls and regulations.
3. The Eligibility Criteria for CDCs Can Include
Things Like:
● The Size of the Development
● the Location of the Development
● the Type of Development
● Impact of the Development on the Environment
● the Impact of the Development on Neighbouring Properties
● the Impact of the Development on Public Health and Safety
You should check with your local council or private certifier to
determine if your proposed development is eligible for a Complying
Development Certificate.
