NEW WELCOME SIGNS FOR ETTALONG

The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the new design for the Welcome Signs for Ettalong Beach town centre.

“With an evolving town centre, a number of local Ettalong Beach business owners suggested we refresh the image of our town centre to more contemporary coastal colours and images”, said Peninsula Chamber President Matthew Wales.

“The result is new welcome signs that reflect the changing nature of Ettalong Beach as new development provides more residential living in the town centre and increased business opportunities.”

“The original signs were installed by the Chamber of Commerce in 2000 as part of our heritage themed upgrade which has now evolved into a more coastal beach theme”, said Matthew Wales.

“The new signs were designed by Rebecca Campbell from Rebecca Campbell Creatives who coincidently was the winner of the Chamber of Commerce’s logo design competition for Umina Beach way back in 1999”. 

“Rebecca was only 17 years old when she was already showing great talent in graphic design”, said Matthew Wales.

“She went on to study graphic design and recently started her own business locally.  Rebecca loves living on the Peninsula and says it’s a wonderful community to raise her family”.  

“We are very proud to have that talent available to create the new signs and marking a generational change in our community”,  said Matthew Wales.

“We thank our sponsors Ettalong Diggers Club and the Galleria Ettalong Beach as well as The Box on the Water Restaurant for their generous financial contribution towards the new signs”.
