Council has discovered some piles of contaminated material at the Tahmoor BMX Park.

The material is located at the back of the site, away from the active jump tracks and playground area.

This material is not related to the work being carried out by Council on the pump track, but has been placed on the property by a third party.

Council is containing the site and fencing it off as a precautionary measure. We will be taking the appropriate steps to remove the material and make the area safe for the community in consultation with EPA.

Members of the community should stay away from the area until the situation has been resolved.
