Who We Are
The Penrith Valley Chamber of Commerce was established in 1927 by a group of forward thinking business and community leaders of their day. They made a significant contribution to the development of Penrith Valley and that tradition has lived on for the past 81 years.
Our current members are business leaders from a diverse range of retail, commercial, and manufacturing backgrounds. Our membership also boasts representatives from numerous government, statutory and local organisations.
The organisation has been active in support of and addressing issues relevant to local businesses. It has played significant roles in major community projects. Driven by a strong member base the Chamber will continue to make significant contributions across the board but especially to the business community of the Penrith Valley as we move forward in challenging times.
We will continue to develop and grow the Chamber’s membership.
