Subscriber only A craft brewery could open in South Lismore as early as Easter if all goes to plan, owner of the proposed venture, Grant Smith said. The exhausted, but relieved co-owner of Two Mates Brewing said it had been a long week, and there was still a long way to go, but he was happy a rescission motion against development approval for the brewery was not supported by Lismore City Council at an extraordinary meeting on Monday night. And now, Mr Smith said, they were looking forward to providing something good for the community at 7 Engine St, and were more than willing to address all concerns raised at the meeting.
Mayor Vanessa Ekins and Councillor Darlene Cook met with Engine Street residents today, to hear their concerns.
“We are homeowners and residents and have legitimate concerns… 9 out of 12 houses on the street are against it,” Engine Street resident, Tristan Inglis, said.
“At the moment I’m still listening to all the information, I’m still assessing all the information, there are a number of questions I wish to ask staff tonight before I make a final decision,” Lismore City Councillor, Darlene Cook, said.
Councillor Casson, Guise and Lloyd will argue there are issues with the proposed site of the ‘Two Mates’ brewery.
