Welcome everyone to the 'all-new' Penrith Valley Views Interactive Blog. It's new in a number of ways, least of which is the design and layout. It's a lot simplier to read and navigate around but still has the same 'interactive' features as it did before.
As of today, it also becomes a real 'blog' in that instead of just publishing 'media releases', it will now feature the personalised 'thoughts' of our City Marketing staff here at Penrith City Council on a variety of issues, all relevant to the work we do promoting the area of Penrith Valley - which you can still leave a comment on.
Over the next few months we will also be publishing the thoughts of our local business and tourism operators in relation to marketing this great area of ours, so if you have something you'd like published on our blog, just send your thoughts to plang@penrithcity.nsw.gov.au - and please keep them under 400 words if you can.
Ok, well that's it for me, I always find these type of 'welcome' columns a little repetative and boring so I'll keep this one fairly short.
I look forward to hearing from you all soon.

Penrith City on DVD
The Penrith Valley Special Visits Network (PVSVN) DVD has been launched to help showcase what Penrith City has to offer prospective international educational tourists.
The DVD is the culmination of a great deal of hard work by several Penrith Valley operators who make up the PVSVN.
These local operators have so much to offer overseas visitors in both training opportunities, and cultural and entertainment experiences.Since November 2003, the Network has brought more than 2100 educational tourists to Penrith City.
The total financial benefit to the local economy is hard to estimate but our research shows that in education fees alone, these tourists have spent more than $150,000.
The DVD has been produced in English, Korean, Mandarin and Japanese and will be widely distributed overseas.Australia is known around the world as a friendly, welcoming and interesting country and naturally, Penrith City is a great ambassador for those values

Recent Council Open Day a Success
Penrith City Council's recent Open Day held on August 2 saw thousands of people converge on the Civic Centre between 12pm and 4pm and enjoy a host of free entertainement and activities.
Successful again was the Council 'Open Day Passport' concept which required a stamp to be taken from various Council department represented on the day.Council provides services throughout the year that cater to residents of all ages and stages of their life and these services were all on show at the Open Day.
There was plenty of freebies given out and everyone who came left with a big smile on their face.
Every year Open Day is a great chance for local families and Council to come together, have a lot of fun, and learn about what Council does for you.
We'll see you all again next year!
