Welcome sign out for visitors Maree Thomson
Division 10 Cr Paul Tatton with Discover Eumundi Heritage and Visitor Centre manager Wendy Birrell and Experience Eumundi marketing campaign director Maree Thomson placing a poster for Eumundi’s next major event, the body art weekend on 12 and 13 May. The new promotional sign for Eumundi replaced the Sunshine Coast information board (see photo top right) that contained seriously out of date information and was in a poor physical state.
T
he new directional sign in Dick Caplick Park is already attracting attention. It allows Eumundi to promote the diversity and beauty of its history, culture, art and social fabric. The new sign was designed, manufactured and erected by a team of local artisans and council workers. It was made possible by Cr Paul Tatton who funded the sign and some improved seating for the park on behalf of the Eumundi community from the Division 10 councillor works allocation.
The sign is “a thing of beauty” but has information about key points around town including a locked box for current event posters, a map of the main streets with major tourist attractions, and images of our history and artistic culture. “The new sign replaces a fifty year old sign which used to tell people how to get out of town”, Discover Eumundi’s Wendy Birrell said. “It was obvious the sign was outdated, it looked tatty and didn’t
reflect the essence of Eumundi nor did it provide the visitor with any welcoming information on Eumundi. The new sign points out some of the special things that people may like to visit while they are here, whatever day of the week they arrive. Posters for community events are very welcome for the event box section of the sign. Please pop into Discover Eumundi with your poster,” she said. Sunshine Coast Council continued on page 4
