Nambucca Valley Council

An approval is not a home. A complying development certificate (CDC) approves work that meets fixed, published standards — a new house, a granny flat, a pool, an extension — without a development application, and the council or a private certifier can issue it.

76 CDCs were lodged in Nambucca Valley Council in the last 12 months.
