Expressions of interest
Are you ready to take your Craft Distillery brand to the next level?
We’re seeking an experienced and visionary distiller to establish and operate a craft distillery at The Foundations—a one-of-a-kind heritage destination in the heart of regional NSW.
Set within the striking industrial remains of the former Portland Cement Works, this is a rare commercial opportunity to become part of a bold placemaking project that celebrates history, creativity, and regional renewal.
The successful applicant will join a broader site activation that includes a craft beer brewery currently in development, hospitality, arts, and visitor experiences. This is more than a tenancy—it’s a chance to shape a regional landmark, craft a place-based spirit range, and engage with a growing audience of visitors and locals alike.

Join us in creating something extraordinary
What's on offer
- Long-term lease in a high-profile, heritage setting
- Support for brand storytelling, marketing, and events
- Access to on-site infrastructure and a growing destination precinct
- Opportunity to build a flagship distilling operation with regional roots and national reach
Who Should Apply
We’re looking for capable operators with:
-
A proven track record in distilling (or brewing)
-
A compelling brand vision and commercial plan
-
Capacity to establish operations within the next 12–18 months
-
A collaborative mindset and commitment to regional growth
