It is anticipated that in the future sales representatives may be employed but they will be
mostly off-site and only accessing the site as visitors on occasions.



3.2.6     Environmentally Relevant Activity

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (EP Act), the operation is determined as an
prescribed Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA) requiring an Environmental Authority (EA)
licence to be obtained from Department of Environment and Heritage. The applicable ERA is
described below;



ERA 22(2) - beverage production - producing 1 megalitre or more of alcoholic beverages in
a year



At this stage the brewery will be producing less than 1 megalitre of beer in the first year.
Once the threshold production level of 1 million litres is reached, the operators will apply for
an EA.

Notwithstanding the above, the following table lists elements of the operation that would
ordinarily be addressed through an EA and in particular potential environmental impacts
that would need to be managed.
