The project included the installation of suburb entry signs, city gateway signage, information bays, tourist wayfinding signage, facility signs and over 400 new street blades.
"Hunter Valley Wine Country has boomed over the past 15 years," Cessnock Mayor Bob Pynsent said. "Businesses and tourists expressed a need for better wayfinding and we've delivered.
The information bays are located in great spots for people to take a break, pick their next stop, use the amenities or a playground and then hit the road again."
Member for Upper Hunter and Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture Michael Johnsen said the signage will help visitors locate the areas many places of interest.
"Cessnock is a great place to visit, and these signs will help travellers find their way to the numerous local attractions," Mr Johnsen said.
This project is funded by a $2.26 million grant from the NSW Government.
