/ Approvals done right the first time

Council rejections cost
time, money, and momentum.

Every construction project in NSW needs council approval — a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC). Getting it right the first time saves months. Getting it wrong means resubmission, redesign, and project delays that cascade through every stage that follows.

METCON manages council approvals from pre-lodgement to determination. We prepare complete applications with all required documentation, coordinate with planners and certifiers, respond to requests for information, and manage conditions of consent through to compliance.

Whether it's a straightforward CDC for a granny flat or a complex DA for a multi-dwelling development — we manage the approval process so the project keeps moving.

/ Six situations that need approval management
First time lodging a DA and unsure what's required
DA submissions require specific documentation, plans, reports, and fees. Missing items cause delays and requests for information.
Previous DA was refused or deferred
A refused or deferred DA needs analysis of the reasons, amendment of plans, and a stronger resubmission strategy.
CDC pathway available but need confirmation
Complying Development is faster but has strict criteria. We assess eligibility and manage the certification process.
Construction certificate needed before work can start
The CC must be issued before construction begins. We coordinate documentation and certifier engagement.
Conditions of consent need to be satisfied
DA conditions requiring reports, bonds, or specific actions before construction — all need management and documentation.
Occupation certificate required before the building can be used
The final OC requires all conditions satisfied, all inspections passed, and all documentation compiled.
Approval stuck or complicated? Send us the details and we'll tell you exactly what's needed to get it through.

/ What we manage

Every approval.
Every certificate.

From initial feasibility to final occupation certificate, we manage the full approval and compliance lifecycle.

01
Development Applications (DA)

Complete DA preparation and lodgement. Architectural plans, engineering, statements of environmental effects, and supporting reports — all coordinated and submitted.

02
Complying Development (CDC)

CDC eligibility assessment, documentation preparation, and private certifier engagement. Faster than DA for projects that meet the criteria.

03
Construction Certificates

CC documentation, certifier coordination, and pre-construction compliance. Everything in order before the first trade arrives on site.

04
Condition Compliance

Systematic management of DA and CDC conditions. Each condition tracked, satisfied, and documented. Nothing missed, nothing assumed.

05
Occupation Certificates

Final OC preparation including all inspections, compliance documentation, and certifier engagement. Building cleared for occupation and use.

06
Planning Feasibility

Pre-purchase and pre-design feasibility analysis. What can be built, what approvals are needed, and what the realistic timeline and constraints look like.

/ Our process

Prepared. Submitted.
Approved. Certified.

Every approval follows our structured five-step process. Complete documentation, proactive management, and systematic condition compliance.

01
Step 01
Feasibility & Planning Review

We review planning controls, site constraints, and approval pathways. DA or CDC route determined, timeline estimated, and documentation requirements identified.

02
Step 02
Documentation Preparation

All required plans, reports, and documentation prepared and coordinated. Architectural, engineering, environmental, and specialist reports compiled into a complete submission.

03
Step 03
Submission & Management

Application lodged with all supporting documentation. Progress tracked, requests for information responded to promptly, and any issues resolved proactively.

04
Step 04
Condition Management

Conditions of consent systematically addressed. Required reports, bonds, and pre-construction requirements satisfied and documented before construction starts.

05
Step 05
Certification

Construction certificate, interim inspections, and final occupation certificate managed. All compliance documentation compiled for the permanent building record.
