Newmont CADIA'S MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT INTO THE REGION Newmont Cadia (Cadia) has provided almost $6 million in support and assistance to the local community through its Community Investment Program from July 2022 to December 2023 according to the company's annual 18-month report released last week. The Community Investment Program encompasses several initiatives that help charities, community groups and organisations to make a difference across Central West NSW. Cadia General Manager, Tom Lukeman, said collaboration and involvement with the local community remains a top priority for Cadia. "I am incredibly proud of Cadia's ongoing commitment to providing opportunities for the community through a range of programs and projects. Our Cadia Cares program enabled The Lake Canobolas Pumphouse to reopen to the public, while the Cadia Legacy Fund donation of world-class audio equipment to Orange Regional Conservatorium (ORC) will make the new ORC Recital Hall one of the most superior music spaces in regional Australia." The Cadia Community Partnership Program continues to support and enhance local community groups and organisations, with over $1.8 million in donations. Major donations were provided to Orange Aboriginal Medical Service (OAMS) Hydrotherapy Pool ($500,000), Newmont Orange360 Regional Tourism Event Fund ($257,127), Canobolas Zone Rural Fire Service Hot Fire Training Centre ($175,000), Orange Regional Conservatorium - Audio Equipment ($150,000), Cumnock General Store - Kitchen fit-out ($124,899), Canobolas Clontarf Academy - supporting Indigenous male students ($100,000), and the Wangarang Bulk Return & Earn ($72,000). "The Community Partnership Program is just one of many initiatives that is making a positive impact across the Central West." "Over the past 18 months our community has faced adversity such as widespread flooding that has impacted many families," said Tom. Through its Workforce Engagement Program, Cadia mobilised more than 60 volunteers who contributed 772 volunteer hours to assist the communities of Eugowra, Cudal, Molong and Manildra. Cadia's $4$ program matched funds raised by the Cadia workforce towards charities and local causes close to their heart including flood-impacted communities and The Nappy Collective, with over $80,000 raised. A key highlight of the reporting period has been the delivery of meaningful change through the Sustainability Fund, which has included support for the next cohort of regional doctors with a $1.4 million-dollar rural health simulation centre in Orange to provide world-class training, while the partnership with Rural Aid helped deliver on-the-ground relief to local flood-impacted communities. Cadia's investment over the July 2022 to December 2023 period also contributed over $900,000 to the Cadia District Enhancement Project, a program which works collaboratively with local landholders, Community Infrastructure and local Tertiary Scholarships.
