Program Eligibility
Eligibility for CDEP is based on proximity to Cadia’s operations, as defined by the CDEP Red Line boundary. Residents, businesses and landholders within this area are invited to participate in the program and may access funding, subsidies and other resources delivered through CDEP initiatives. This approach ensures support is directed to those located closest to Cadia’s operations.
