Overview
- Loucas Architects lodged a May application with Inner West Council to demolish the Wilford Street brewery and build a six-storey complex with ground-level retail.
- The proposed development would deliver 40 apartments, of which seven would be reserved as affordable housing for 15 years.
- Inner West Council has opened the proposal for community submissions until June 26 before making its determination.
- Young Henrys has brewed at the Newtown site since 2012 and can shift production to its Goulburn and Victoria facilities if displaced.
- Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne stressed the brewery’s contribution to the Enmore Road precinct’s cultural atmosphere and local appeal.
