CDC Documentation Package

CDC Drawings for Fast, Predictable Approvals in NSW

A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) allows eligible projects to bypass slow council Development Applications and obtain approval through a Private Certifier within as little as 10 days. We prepare complete, certifier-ready CDC drawing packages for projects across Fairfield West, Fairfield, Wetherill Park, Smithfield, Liverpool, Prairiewood, Bossley Park, Greystanes and surrounding suburbs.

CDC is the fastest approval pathway in NSW—but only if the drawings are 100% compliant with the Codes SEPP (formerly SEPP Exempt & Complying Development Codes 2008). Our job is to ensure your documentation meets these standards precisely.

What Are CDC Documents?

CDC drawings are a complete set of architectural documents prepared specifically for Complying Development assessment under NSW legislation. These drawings demonstrate that your proposed development meets strict numerical standards for:

  • Lot size

  • Lot width

  • Site coverage

  • Setbacks

  • Landscaping & deep soil

  • Private open space

  • Building height

  • Floor levels

  • Privacy

  • Solar access

  • Drainage

CDC drawings must be highly accurate—any error can disqualify the entire project from CDC eligibility.

Our CDC Document Package Includes:

Site Plan (CDC Standards Applied)

We annotate:

  • Boundary setbacks

  • Building envelope

  • Open space calculations

  • Landscaping percentages

  • Site coverage ratios

Floor Plans

Drafted to meet minimum room sizes and amenity standards.

Shadow Diagrams (CDC-compliant)

To confirm the development does not significantly impact neighbouring solar access.

BASIX-Ready Plans

We integrate energy efficiency features to streamline BASIX approval.

CDC Non-Compliance Audit

We identify any element that does not meet CDC requirements and propose solutions.

Why CDC Documents Are So Important

CDC assessors have zero tolerance for:

  • inaccurate dimensions

  • unlabelled heights

  • incomplete solar diagrams

  • unclear setbacks

  • missing environmental notes

Our precise drafting significantly increases your chance of approval on the first submission.
