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.

Contamination by per-and-poly fluoroalkyl (PFAS) at Butler Street Reserve is being investigated by both the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and Council.
Butler Street Reserve is located on the newly opened bypass, just west of the town’s CBD.
Byron Shire Council staff say the joint investigation began after PFAS was detected in the groundwater beneath Butler Street Reserve and the adjacent Byron Drain (also referred to as Union Drain).
Staff say, ‘PFAS is a group of chemicals that were widely used in some fire-fighting foams and other products including food packaging, non-stick cookware, fabric, furniture, clothing, and shampoo’.
