What is a Development Application (DA) Approval?

A DA is a formal application for development that requires consent under the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act).

It includes plans and technical reports, so after all the necessary planning has been completed, it’s time to prepare your proposal for lodgement. This is an important step to get right – ensuring all documentation is completed and compliant to make the DA approval process as smooth as possible.

We tailor a design to meet your needs and their requirements

We work in collaboration with council and certifiers to create a design that’s in keeping with your specifications, as well all their requirements. We take the time to understand your vision and the restraints it is bound by. Using our vast industry knowledge and network, we overcome these restraints and provide a solution that’s unique to your project.

How does the Development Application process work?

1—Confirmation and acceptance

After an initial consultation and defined scope of work, you accept our proposal and we begin design services

2—Design approval

Floor plans and front elevations are issued for review and approval.

3—Final stage design

The remaining architectural plans are issued for final review and approval.

4—Pre-submission

A completed design package is submitted to the relevant certifying authority for review and determination.

I used Anthony from ES Design for my new build in Yagoona. I have to say at the beginning I was nervous as i knew i was limited with what i can do with the home due to an existing build i had at the rear of the property. I am about 3 weeks away from finishing and cannot thank him enough for his design and vision. He continuously visited me during construction and even kept contact with me whilst overseas. His professionalism and love for his job really showed and my wife and I cant thank him enough for what he delivered. I strongly recommend Anthony and the Es team for your new home design.

I cannot speak highly enough of the team at ES Design. It all started with their beautiful design of our duplex back in 2019 which was built in 2021. Massive thanks to Nikola for this creation having worked closely with us to understand our needs. They then helped us lodge our DA submission for the Torrens Title subdivision back through council and continued to support us all the way to the end until we got our subdivision certificate. They went above and beyond what was expected of them and this is what makes them special and different from other companies. A huge thank you to Emilia for her unwavering patience as we managed many personal challenges and also to Gisele and Elie. We could not have done this without you. Thanks so much. We will most definitely use them again in future and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.

ES Design were a pleasure to work with. Not only were they hard working and kept things organised and progressed, they were incredibly experienced and knowledgable on the CDC process. The CDC process isn’t taken up as much as it can be and often down to difficulty in getting consultants to do this work because it’s much more involved than a DA, but I am really glad we decided to go down this path with ES design, saving us considerable time delays with council. ES Design also delivered an amazing design, being exactly the style and type of housing we envisioned. They were also flexible throughout the design process and worked with our moving brief and changes to get the best outcome for the site. We cannot wait to see it come to life!
