Building Permits & Council Development Proposals (CDC)

Building Permits & Complying Development Certificates (CDC)

Fast-Tracked Approvals. Zero Red Tape.

At Revive, we help you get building approvals sorted quickly — so you can start your project with certainty. Whether you’re planning a new warehouse, a commercial fitout, or a retrofit, we manage the entire CDC or permit process from assessment to approval.

From navigating council rules to working with certifiers, we cut through the paperwork — and get your project moving.

What Is a Complying Development Certificate (CDC)?

A CDC is a fast-tracked alternative to a full Development Application (DA). It’s a combined planning and construction approval available for low-impact industrial and commercial works under the NSW planning system.

Typical CDC-eligible projects include:

• Warehouse upgrades or fitouts

• Internal refurbishments

• Change of use (within compliant zoning)

• Signage and facade upgrades

• Office or amenities additions

• Mezzanine installation

• Makegood works

We’ll assess your project for CDC eligibility and prepare all documentation for swift lodgement.

DA or CDC? We’ll Advise You Straight

Some projects require a Development Application due to complexity or zoning. Others can proceed under CDC — saving you months.

We’ll give you a clear answer upfront.

We guide you through:

• Planning pathway review (DA vs CDC)

• Council controls, zoning, and land use checks

• Certifier coordination

• Statement of environmental effects

• Construction documentation

• Pre-construction approvals

• Final sign-off and compliance

We’ve helped clients across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra navigate both local councils and private certifiers — with confidence.
