The first directions hearing in the Cadia class action was held today.

Justice Cavanagh has ordered CVO to provide early discovery by 24 April, and to file its defence by 26 May 2026, and indicated that the trial is likely to be listed in the second half of 2027.

We are very pleased with this outcome.

The hearing was well attended by the community and we thank everyone for their support.

We will be arranging a class action information meeting in Millthorpe on Wednesday 20 May. Please email [email protected] to confirm your attendance.

Mrs Retallack said she was proud of her central west community and the 40-odd supporters who caught a 4:30am bus to Sydney today.

"It's taken a lot of courage to stand up to a mine the size of Newmont," she said.

The group's barrister, Christopher Withers SC, told the court that the class action had 2,000 members who live within a 17-kilometre radius of the mine site.

He said the alleged contamination came from mine fluids that escaped the site from 2024 and mine dust from about 2019.

Mr Withers told the court one of the factors was the failure of a wall on a tailings dam, which contained mining waste by-products.

A small farming community in central west NSW is taking on mining giant Newmont, alleging a goldmine at Cadia, near Orange, has contaminated their agricultural assets.

The government knew a harmful toxin had been found in its algal bloom, but took months to update its health advice.
