5) Private functions. If interest is shown and opportunities arise, the hosting of private functions
may be an option.

It is one of the requirements under the producer licence provisions for sale of liquor from the
site where meals provided on the premises are for consumption on the premises. Food is to
be offered from the kitchen on site which will predominantly serve wood-fired pizzas and the
like.
Relationships with other local suppliers and/or producers of fresh food may be established to
offer a variety of meal options over time.



3.2.4    Operating Hours

This application seeks approval for the operating hours of the industrial use to be 24 hours per
day, 7 days a week. While it is acknowledged that in the initial stages production will be at a
lower level and not require continuous operation, as brewery production increases up to
capacity and due to the nature of the brewing process, flexibility is required in terms of
operating hours. It is expected that no deliveries or dispatches however will occur outside of
normal business operating hours.

The operating hours are justified and appropriate given it is a production and processing
type of industrial use that requires high cost inputs in terms of raw and refined products,
energy and water with significant lead times for process start-up. The brewing equipment is
designed to operate continuously and cost efficiencies are gained through this uninterrupted
processing. The very nature of brewing is that it is an ongoing process. Furthermore, the
bottling process needs to operate for the full run and is not designed to be shut down
midstream. The plant will only be shut down for regular maintenance or in the event of
breakdown.



If the licensee is a producer of liquor and the liquor is produced or made on the premises,
liquor can be sold on the licensed premises for consumption on or off the premises during
ordinary trading hours or approved extended trading hours.

The application seeks operating hours for the tasting room (Type 1- Food and beverage use)
to be in line with the hours available under the producer licence conditions, as follows;



Trading hours producer

Liquor may be served for consumption on the premises on any day on which the premises
may be open under the Trading (Allowable Hours) Act 1990, between the hours of 10am to
12 midnight, with a meal or to take away as a souvenir of a visit.



It is noted that application can be made under the licence to the regulators for extended
trading hours either on a one-off basis or permanently.
