Browse Forums Building A New House Re: DA vs CDC (Approval Times) in Ku-ring-gai Council? 2Feb 13, 2024 4:38 pm ![]() Hi all, Anyone have experience/knowledge on how long usually either the DA or CDC process it takes for building a new home in the Ku-ring-gai Council area?

DA's are taking 12-18months and CDC's we have been doing in 2-3 months. If you can get your approval via CDC I would highly recommend it. Council is incredibly slow, pedantic and their approval conditions are onerous.
