Brewery premises
On Monday inspected a couple of industrial units in a small complex on the south side of Penrith.
Previous units I have investigated have not been suitable because of inadequte utilities. And in some of them the floor space has been very choppy – stairs to a mezzanine here, a toilet block there, an office over there etc.
The ones I saw on Monday are about 260 square metres of clear floor space about 10 metres wide and 26 metres deep. There’s a bit of extra space at the front around the roller shutter, and also with toilets, shower, entranceway and small mezzanine office.
The power is right with 3 phase at 100 amps per phase. Gas has been connected to one of the units in the past, I am just checking with AGL that it will be available in adequate quantity and pressure. There should not be any problems, but you know famous last words . . The steam boiler uses 675 megajoules an hour and needs a pressure of about 5kPa.
The sewer in the street is 225 mm diameter and will easily handle the brewery discharge. Still need to check on the location and diameter of internal drains and the load bearing ability of the floor.
It is an older style unit, masonry construction throughout. It has good truck access and on-site parking. And the rent is pretty reasonable.
