Williamtown residents affected by the RAAF base chemical spill are preparing to take on the department of defence in court, if their demands for compensation are not met by the end of the month.
Law firm Gadens is supporting resident's claims they have been ignored and treated unfairly over the chemical spill which decimated land values and impacted livelihoods
President of the Fullerton Cove Residents Action Group, Lindsay Clout says they have no choice but to pursue legal action.
"It's been a long road for us to get to this point with Defence. I mean, we've been at the table for over 12 months now, but unfortunately it's the path we've driven down because the contamination is still there, it's still leaking off the base. We want some action and people are hurting," he said.
