The primary distinction between a Development Application (DA) and a Complying Development Certificate (CDC can be found in their respective approval processes and the types of projects they are suitable for. A Development Application (DA) is a formal request submitted to the local council or relevant planning authority, typically utilised for more intricate or non-standard development endeavors, including new construction, major renovations, changes in building classifcations, or projects within heritage-listed areas etc. DAs involve comprehensive assessments, public consultations, and adhere to local planning regulations, resulting in a potentially lengthier processing period.

CDCs are designed for developments such as, home renovations, and straightforward construction, resulting in a quicker and less complex approval process, often completed in just a few weeks, as they do not necessitate the same level of scrutiny and public engagement as DAs.
