Complying Development Certificate Approval with Swift Construction Pty Ltd

A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) combines planning and construction approval for straightforward developments. A CDC can be approved when a proposed development complies with pre-determined development standards set under State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPP).

This process allows a fast-track assessment by a certifying authority, which may be either Council or an Accredited Certifier. The purpose of this certificate is to certify that the proposed building works will comply with all relevant legislation and building standards.

CDC Types

Types of work that are eligible for Complying Development Approval

  • Pools and Spas
  • Sheds, Retaining Walls and Decks
  • Carports and Garages
  • New Dwellings
  • Granny Flats
  • Alterations and Additions
  • Renovations
  • Some Commercial and Industrial Projects

The Planning NSW has an extensive guide outlining what needs to be considered for Complying Development.
Feel free to read the guide and contact us if you have any further questions.

CDC Process

What is the process for a Complying Development Certificate Approval?

The Complying Development Certificate approval process can be broken down into three sections:

  • Quote and Initial Review
  • Assessment and Approval
  • Construction and Occupation Certificate

Stage 1 – Quote & Initial Review

During the first stage of this process, your project will be reviewed by our team in order to understand the requirements of your project. A quote for the Complying Development Certificate Approval, all required inspections, and an occupation certificate will be provided.

Should further review be required for Complying Development Certificate (CDC) permissibility, an optional CDC Pre Assessment can be included in the quote, where your architectural plans will be reviewed by one of our Certifiers against the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) prior to lodgement.

Stage 1 Process

Stage 2 – Assessment & Approval

Upon acceptance of the quote and completed application forms, your application will proceed through the Complying Development Certificate Approval pathway.

Our team will prepare the Complying Development Certificate application, which includes the required documentation such as architectural plans, engineering reports, and any other necessary information. This documentation will be submitted to the relevant certifying authority.
Our team will formally lodge it on the NSW Planning Portal, and our certifiers will complete a comprehensive review against the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP), Building Code of Australia (BCA) and perform a site inspection.

If required, our Certifier will then present a Request for Information (RFI) outlining documentation and/or information to provide. Once these additional requirements have been met, the certifier can issue your Approval.

Stage 2 Process

Stage 3 – Construction & Occupation Certificate

Congratulations!

You have received your Complying Development Certificate Approval, and you can now commence construction.
You may need to provide some prior to commencement items which will be listed on your approval.

Once these are provided, and we are appointed as your Principal Certifier we issue your notice of commencement, and you can start construction in two days!

It is mandatory for our team to carry out inspections at critical stages (noted on your approval) to ensure your project is constructed to BCA requirements and consent conditions. Upon completion, our team can issue your Occupation Certificate upon your final inspection and documentation received to demonstrate the project complies.
