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
