Upper Hunter Shire 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.

40 CDCs were lodged in Upper Hunter Shire Council in the last 12 months.

A CDC is a check against fixed standards rather than a judgement. Lodgd holds each one with where it is up to, its homes, cost and storeys — beside the development applications and building certificates on the same site, across all 128 councils.
