Complying Development Certificates (CDC)
A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) is a fast-track approval pathway in NSW that combines planning approval and construction approval into a single certificate. It is designed to streamline the approval process for straightforward developments that meet a set of pre-determined planning and building standards.
A CDC may be issued where the proposed development fully complies with the relevant State Environmental Planning Policies (Code SEPP), prescribed development standards, and the applicable provisions of the National Construction Code (NCC).
Complying development can apply to a range of residential, commercial, and industrial projects, provided the proposal satisfies the required planning and design criteria.
As part of the assessment process, key development standards are reviewed, including building height, setbacks, gross floor area, site coverage, and other site constraints. If the proposal complies with these requirements, it may qualify as Complying Development, allowing the project to bypass the full Development Application (DA) process and significantly fast streamline the approval timeframe.
DeltaCert provides professional certification services to assess CDC eligibility and guide clients through the approval process efficiently.

“Certifier has become our go to certification partner. As a design led practice, we need a certifier who understands that architecture and compliance can – and should – work beautifully together. Certifier delivers exactly that.
Their platform is intuitive, their turnaround times are unmatched, and their team speaks the same language we do: pragmatic, solution focused, and always one step ahead. On our last three projects, Certifier helped us identify potential compliance issues during design, not on site – saving weeks of delays and keeping our clients happy.
If you’re an architect or builder who’s tired of chasing paperwork or last minute surprises, switch to Certifier. They don’t just tick boxes – they help you build better.”
