• Demolition of existing buildings.
• Development of a malt plant with an annual capacity of 110,000 tonnes, & a grain packaging plant and associated infrastructure.
• The proposed plant will comprise office building, workshop, cleaning bins, 4 x germination vessels, steeping vessels, malt and barley storage silos, analysis bins, drying kiln, switch room and substation.
• Precast concrete panels will be used for the switch rooms, plant room, fan rooms and kiln heater room.
• The germination and kiln buildings will be of metal cladding on a steel frame with metal roofing.
• The silos will be of galvanised construction.
• The workshop and cleaning plant will be of metal cladding construction.
• Effluent tanks for the wastewater treatment plant and chilled water tanks will be constructed of cast concrete.
• All exposed steel walkways and gantries will be galvanised steel.
• The packing plant will be a steel framed shed, clad in metal.
• A purpose built office building will also be provided.
• The proposed development involves the construction of a facility to convert barley into malt as well as an export container grain packing plant.
• The grain packing facility will receive and pack wheat, oats, barley and a variety of other grain/pulse commodities in export standard containers for dispatch to overseas customers.
• Both the malt processing plant and the grain packing plant will use the existing rail facilities to the maximum extent possible for the receival and dispatch of grains associated with this project.
• The site will be self-contained and self-supporting with respect to transport and utilisation of services, including a state-of-the-art water treatment plant.
• The proposed facility consists of a number of operational areas totalling some 2.6ha to facilitate the malting process and grain packaging.
• The grain packing plant would handle approximately 140,000 tonnes annually.The facility is aligned north-south along the site, with germination and steeping vessels to the south, kilning to the north.
• The grain storage and grain packing facility will be adjacent to the malting plant.
• Plant rooms for refrigeration and power would be separately located on the site.
• All the operational areas are interconnected by air-belt and drag conveyors, which will carry the grain through to the process vessels.
• Conventional silo storage with drag conveyors and grain elevators will be utilised in the grain receival and dispatch areas.
• There are also a number of other structures integral to the site's function including a maintenance building and water storage tanks.
• Other uses include an office building containing a works control office, general office, laboratory and administration facilities.
• For the packing plant, the main structure would be a shed of approximately 45m x 10m enclosing grain receival and out-loading equipment.
• GFA maintenance workshop 250sq m, chemical store 125sq m, office 280sq m, bagging area 400sq m, packing plant including silos 675sq m.
• Treatment of water will occur on site to recycle water back into the manufacturing process.
• This will be carried out by a reverse osmosis plant to refine the treated water back to near potable levels, with the resultant brine being discharged to the sewer system.
• Carparking for 26 vehicles.
• Landscaping.
