Complying Development Certificates (CDC)

At Precise Designs, we help you fast-track your project approval through the Complying Development Certificate (CDC) pathway. If your development meets specific NSW Government criteria, a CDC can be issued quickly, often in just 10 to 20 days, without the need for a full Development Application.

Whether you're planning a new home, granny flat, shed, or extension, we'll guide you through the process and ensure everything complies with the relevant planning rules.

What We Offer

✔ CDC Eligibility Check
We assess your property and proposed development against the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) and your local Council rules to determine if a CDC is suitable for your project.

✔ Full CDC Documentation
We prepare and coordinate all necessary plans and reports, including:

  • Site plans, floorplans, and elevations
  • BASIX certificates and compliance checklists
  • Any additional documents required by private certifiers

✔ Certifier Liaison
We work closely with your chosen private certifier (or council if required), handling submissions, revisions, and any follow-up queries to keep your project moving.

✔ Planning Portal Submission
We manage the entire CDC lodgement through the NSW Planning Portal, ensuring your application is accurate, complete, and ready for fast approval.
