The Byron Shire Council says it’s still working with the NSW Environment Protection Authority
(EPA) on a contamination investigation at the Butler Street Reserve, home to what used to be a tip.
Authorities are checking the Byron Bay site for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, more commonly known as PFAS.
Byron Shire Council Acting Director Infrastructure Services Phil Warner said via a media release this week testing was ongoing and the reserve would stay closed until results were in and the EPA had approved an Environmental Management Plan.
The reserve was closed in July 2019 when work on the Byron Bay bypass started and at that time was due to reopen when the bypass was finished.

Two groups which run events in the Byron Shire are vying for a chance to take over management of the Lennox Head Community Market.
Ballina Shire Council will consider allocating a new manager for the event, held at Williams Reserve, at its Thursday meeting.
After the last manager left the role, the council called for expressions of interest in October and November last year.
For-profit company The Foragers Group and not-for-profit, Byron Bay Community Association, are now both hoping to manage the event.
The council’s staff have recommended the latter, which is behind the monthly Byron Community Market, Byron Beachside Artisan Market and Byron Twilight Artisan Market, be invited to enter into a licence agreement.
