When you need this
If your project meets specific development standards, a CDC can be faster than a full Development Application. It must be obtained before any building work begins.
What we assess
We check your project against the relevant development standards, review site details including land area and existing use, assess the proposed floor area and building height, and confirm the site qualifies under any restrictions that may apply.

When should I involve an access consultant?
Ideally during design, so accessibility requirements shape the plans rather than requiring costly changes later.
