"The Albanese Labor Government is delivering on its election commitment with an independent review of land uses around key Defence bases impacted by per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination.

Led by Mr Jim Varghese AM, the Review will focus on communities around RAAF Base Williamtown (NSW), the Army Aviation Centre Oakey (QLD), and RAAF Base Tindal (NT).

Working in consultation with Commonwealth, State, Territory and local governments, affected communities and industry, the Review will explore alternative uses for impacted land around the three key Defence bases."
