Wollongong City 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.

972 CDCs were lodged in Wollongong City Council in the last 12 months.

6,181 CDCs and modifications on record

The fast track

Across NSW, 48% of the applications determined in the last 12 months were CDCs.

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.

How we count. Every complying development certificate the NSW Planning Portal lists for Wollongong City Council, and every modification to one, at the status NSW gives. The count for the last 12 months is of certificates lodged in that time; modifications are listed but not counted.
