It complements the environmental site assessment report, which shows where PFAS have been detected on and in the vicinity of RAAF Base Williamtown.

Defence remains committed to providing information to the EPA and Expert Panel and to the Williamtown community.
Subject to review of these reports by the EPA and the Expert Panel, Defence will conduct community information sessions to explain the results of the investigations.
