No Errors, No Rejections.
Stop Losing Time & Money on Planning Portal Delays
Your project may require either a Development Application (DA) or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), depending on zoning and other factors. We guide you through the best pathway for approval and handle all correspondence with the relevant authority—whether it’s Council or a Private Certifier — via the NSW Planning Portal.
Our initial assessment pinpoints any requirements needing attention before submission, helping to fast-track the approval process.
