What is the Complying Development Code? (CDC)

The Complying Development Code is a component of the State Environmental Planning Policy in New South Wales which aims to simplify the design approval process. It applies to new single or two story developments and alterations or additions, provided the project meets the basic code requirements.

The Complying Development Code applies in all Councils we service:

• Minimum block area of 200 sqm
• Minimum block width at building line 6m
• Maximum ht controls and site coverage controls

What are the advantages to the Complying Development Code?

This is a detailed guide designed to assist the homeowner to establish a suitable and realistic budget for their project and includes:

• No Development Applications - The Complying Development Code replaces the need too submit a Development Application for smaller projects.
• Saves significant time - Low risk, low impact works can be approved in 10 days by the local council or a private certifier as compared to the average 120 days needed for a Development Application approval.
• Reduces costs - Costs associated with gaining planning approval are removed which yields an overall more affordable home.
• No neighbour approval - The council or accredited certifier is not required to notify neighbours to grant a Complying Development Certificate.
• Meets BASIX requirements - The requirements for the Complying Development Code also meet the water and energy saving demands of New South Wales.
