What’s the difference between CDC and CC?
A CDC is a streamlined approval pathway for eligible developments. A CC is typically part of the DA pathway and confirms construction documentation meets requirements before work starts.

For most building work in NSW, a Principal Certifier must be appointed to coordinate mandatory inspections and oversee compliance steps through to certification outcomes.
