Brewery proposal 'referred to applicant'

A proposal for a micro brewery , food and drinks premises called Two Hops Brewery at Woy Woy has been "referred to the applicant" for more detail.

The applicants wanted council consent to turn what was previously Anderson's Bait wholesale storage and distribution centre into a "contemporary and cosmopolitan food and beverage outlet complementing the emerging quality dining and entertaining establishments at Woy Woy".

These were noted as the "recently upgraded Fishermen's Wharf, the well-established Ela Mesa Greek Restaurant, Young Barons and the greatly enhanced Bayview Hotel featuring Frankie's Roof Top Bar".

The application was submitted by the Gosford office of SJH Planning and Design on behalf of as yet unnamed "entrepreneurs".

"The design imagery snapshots which are included in the attachments provide but a sample of what these young entrepreneurs contemplate in the adaptive re-use of the existing factory unit known as unit 4, No 15 Charlton St, Woy Woy,'' the application to Central Coast Council says.

The applicants told council it was intended the proposal would be endorsed by the Liquor and Gaming Authority as small bar which would permit a maximum of 100 patrons at any one time but noted budgeting forecasts had been based on more modest numbers of between 20 to 50 patrons at any one time.

Hours of operation would be 10am to 10pm seven days a week and the application had more than the required seven car parking spaces with 15 spaces available.

The application first went to council in August last year and has been referred back to the applicant after the police check was completed on April 15

SJH Planning and Design said it was about to table a management plan at the behest of council.'
