Local entrepreneur fronts new campaign

Local entrepreneur Julian is among the inspiring stories being told in Penrith's new campaign, "One Community, Many Abilities".

Through this campaign, Penrith City Council is shining the spotlight on the diverse abilities and achievements of individuals within the community.  Featured on Council’s digital platforms and advertised throughout Penrith, the campaign aims to raise awareness about the valuable contributions people living with disability can make, when given the opportunity.

Julian, a talented architectural designer, finds joy in not only designing structures but also showcasing his athletic prowess through powerchair football in his leisure time, revealing his passion for sports.

Among his many achievements, he fondly recalls the creation of a stunning light installation at Vivid Sydney, a testament to his creativity and vision.

Julian lives with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia and relying on a mobility wheelchair, his determination knows no bounds. Currently, he channels his architectural expertise into running a thriving 3D printing business, where innovation meets his entrepreneurial spirit, pushing boundaries and inspiring others along the way.

This initiative is an outcome of Council’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP), reflecting Council’s ongoing commitment to championing diversity and inclusion throughout Penrith.
