No Foolin' - Penrith Lakes Marketing Network Meeting a success!

In terms of ideas generated, enthusiasm displayed, passion for the area and numbers who turned up, the latest Penrith Lakes Marketing Network Meeting held at Waterside on April 1 can only be described as a complete success.

Business and tourism operators from Chifley Penrith Panthers, Penrith Valley Chamber of Commerce, Bass2Bait, St Paul’s Grammar School and The Train Shed all came along to hear Lakes Precinct operators Jill Ritherdon from Muru Mittigar, Michelle Whitmore from the Sydney International Regatta Centre, Glenn Butterworth of Waterside and Simonetta Lo Po of Penrith Whitewater Stadium all update the group about their respective businesses and how by working together everyone can get involved in making the area a major tourist attraction for Penrith to the benefit of all.

Meanwhile Chief Operating Officer of Penrith Lakes Greg Leghissa also spoke to the group and answered questions about the future of the Penrith Lakes scheme saying a clearer vision of what will happen in the Lakes precinct will be known by the end of the year. He is keen to work with the Penrith Lakes Marketing Network Group in the future and keep everyone up to date on exactly what is happening to this very important project.

The group agreed to continue to meet on a regular basis and widen the scope of businesses which can get involved in promoting themselves via the various businesses and events already operating in the Lakes Precinct.
