Hospitality industry forum to be hosted by Penrith City Council

Hospitality industry forum to be hosted by Penrith City Council
April 27, 2024

Penrith City Council has advised that it will be hosting a Hospitality Industry Forum which will allow local businesses to come together to discuss the hospitality sector.   

The purpose of the forum is to allow local bars, cafes and restaurants to share their stories and provide feedback on how government and business can support each other in building resilience in the area of hospitality.

Penrith Mayor Todd Carney noted “It is a tough time for business, particularly with the cost-of-living pressures leading to reduced consumer spending, increases in rent and operating costs as well as staff shortages all affecting our local businesses.”

“It’s extremely important that we gauge business’ opinion of the current operating environment to gain further insight into what is occurring in the sector and how Council can support local businesses.”   

A survey is also currently available as an opportunity for businesses to provide their feedback if they are unable to attend the forum, with the results to be shared with the participants at the forum.

The survey will gauge business sentiment and provide further insights into what is happening in the sector, and it closes on 1st May 2024.

The survey link can be found at Penrith Hospitality Industry Survey April 2024

The forum will be held on Tuesday, 7th May from 10.00am-12.00pm at Mr Watkins, High Street Penrith. RSVP via CEM@penrith.city
