Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about CDCs, building inspections, certification timelines, and more — answered clearly.
All FAQsA CDC can be used for a wide range of standard residential projects — including new single dwellings, alterations and additions, granny flats (secondary dwellings), swimming pools, garages, carports, and demolition works — provided they comply with the relevant State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP). Not all projects qualify; eligibility depends on the specific site, zoning, and design. We assess your project against the SEPP requirements and give you a clear answer upfront.
