The proposed nanobrewery is to operate like a traditional food and drink outlet, however, includes a series of small brewery canisters that enable on-site brewing.

The nanobrewery only has the capacity to produce about 38,000 litres per annum.

Additional security cameras will be installed internally and externally.

No alterations to Salt Yeppoon are proposed.
