Code SEPP Planning Reports for CDC Applications in NSW
Are you preparing a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) application in New South Wales? A Code SEPP Planning Report is a critical document that outlines how your proposed development complies with the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008—commonly known as the Codes SEPP.
As experienced town planners, we specialise in preparing detailed Code SEPP Planning Reports that support fast-track CDC approvals across residential, commercial, and industrial developments.
What Is the Codes SEPP?
The Codes SEPP, also known as State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Codes) 2008, is a state-wide planning policy that simplifies the approval process for low-impact developments. If your project meets the specified standards, you can bypass the traditional Development Application (DA) and apply directly for a CDC—saving time, money, and administrative effort.
Common types of complying development include:
- New single or two-storey dwellings
- Granny flats and secondary dwellings
- Swimming pools, decks, and fences
- Renovations and internal alterations
- Commercial fit-outs and minor upgrades
WHAT IS A CODE SEPP PLANNING REPORT
A Code SEPP Planning Report is a professionally prepared document that demonstrates compliance with the relevant parts of the Codes SEPP. It includes:
- Identification of the applicable Code (e.g. Housing Code, Greenfield Housing Code, Low Rise Housing Diversity Code)
- Site eligibility assessment
- Detailed analysis of development standards (e.g. setbacks, height, site coverage, landscaping)
- Supporting diagrams, maps, and legislative references
These reports are essential for private certifiers and councils to verify compliance and approve your CDC application efficiently.
