Lights on Penrith

In 2021 designed the branding for Lights On Penrith – the first ever Penrith Growth Summit initiated by the Penrith Valley Chamber.

Penrith is a thriving City Centre supporting and servicing one of Australia’s fastest growing regions – the Western Parkland City. Over 130 years ago, Penrith was recognised as one of the most vibrant, progressive and innovative towns in New South Wales when the Sydney region’s first electric light station was installed in Belmore Street.

When the power was switched on in Penrith for the first time on October 3, 1890, thousands of people turned out to celebrate as electric lighting illuminated streets, a handful of businesses and around 60 houses. The day was declared a public holiday and the Mayoress of Sydney made the journey by train to witness the event and ‘flick the switch’!

That determination to be at the forefront of technology and innovation is the same today. With so much investment planned for the Penrith/Nepean region in the near future, how can local businesses identify and leverage the opportunities presented for growth now?
