What is a DA?

A DA or Development Approval is necessary before commencing construction, demolition, or any work on land. There are a range of categories that fit within DA, such as small commercial and residential projects, tree removal, small bar, food, and drink premises, and more. It is crucial you are aware of the specific DA forms that need to be completed based on the category your land falls under.
