Leasing
Tenants within the Turbine Precinct will have access to other like-minded organisations, complementary services, modern technology and extensive industry knowledge.
It is intended that tenancies will be made available to organisations that demonstrate collaboration in their service and delivery models and complement any part of the service and supply chains within the food and beverage industry.
Tenancy Availability
AVAILABLE FROM MID 2025
All tenancies are expected to be available for occupancy from mid 2025, with possible early access for tenant fit-out works (to be determined), subject to progress against construction programming. All configurations can vary depending on tenancy requirements.
Multiple
Tenancies available
Up to 9,100m2 of production space
For food and beverage production
approx. 2,100m2
For smaller tenancies
A total area of up to 9,100m2 is available for lease for food and beverage production. This area is available for manufacturing activities and is supported by shared services. Tenancy sizes can be negotiated, subject to availability.
2,100m2 of floor space has been allocated for smaller tenancies, initially set at 300m2 each, tenancies 1- 7, and up to 7,000m2 has been allocated for larger partnership tenants. As warehousing, offices and shared services are provided outside the Manufacturing space, the 300m2 smaller tenancies may be considered to be the equivalent of a 500-600m2 facility.
Tenancy Mix
A critical element of success for the Precinct is the embedded collaboration between project partners who are made up of small, medium and large businesses, research organisations, industry groups, training organisations and investors, and other entities. The TURBINE Precinct acknowledges that businesses are more likely to grow and attract investment when there are fewer barriers and they are supported by a thriving business environment.
The Precinct will house end-to-end support for a beverage SME to scale, from product ideation through to export. Key highlights include:
- Installation of food and beverage manufacturing tenants
- Provision of shared services for all tenants
- Warehousing
- An industry-led R&D centre
- An expertise co-working hub with centralised offices for manufacturing tenants and other tenants
- Education and training facilities
- Space for industry meetings and events
To maintain the integrity of the Project intent, a tenancy evaluation framework has been established.
Manufacturing Tenancy Features.
The manufacturing tenancies will be provided as a shell with the specified services, features, and utilities provided to specific points in the tenancy.
Tenant fitout, supply of internal infrastructure such as platforms, and reticulation of services within the tenancy may form part of an incentive package where matched funding is available for qualifying applicants.
