Frequently asked questions.

Explore all FAQs

What is the process for approving works or a change of use for commercial developments?

Commercial builds, fit-outs, or changes of use typically go through one of two approval paths:

  • Development Application (DA) via your local council – standard route for more complex or site-specific projects.
  • Complying Development Certificate (CDC) with a private certifier – quicker if your project meets the lot requirements and complying development codes in the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP).

Both paths require detailed plans and supporting documents. We recommend talking to a town planner before purchasing or leasing a commercial development.
