Pittwater Council at its meeting on 17 October 2011, resolved to place on public exhibition the concept plans developed as part of a submission to the State Government and PCYC NSW for funding of a new Police and Community Youth Club (PCYC) at North Narrabeen Reserve. In addition a Preliminary Business Case was prepared for the project which was considered and supported by Council. Council submitted a comprehensive Expression of Interest to the State Government and PCYC NSW on 31 October 2011, for a grant of $2,500,000 towards the establishment of a new club with the overall costs being $8,464,457. Successful submissions expected to be announced in early 2012. The PCYC model has been in operation for over 75 years, previously a club for boys to engage in positive activities. Later known as Police Citizen Youth Clubs, then in 1995 they changed their name to Police & Community Youth Clubs. There are currently 57 PCYC's in both regional and metropolitan NSW. PCYC is an incorporated not for profit charitable company. The PCYC is a unique model as it partners with the NSW Police Force. Each time a new PCYC is approved by the State Government an additional 2 Police Officers are allocated to the Police Youth Command which is situated in Mount Druitt. These Police officers are then allocated to work in the newly created PCYC. A facility coordinator is also funded by the State Government via PCYC NSW. The coordinator is an employee of PCYC NSW. These documents may be viewed at Council's Customer Service Centres at 1 Park Street, Mona Vale and 59A Old Barrenjoey Road, Avalon as well as at Mona Vale Library and Avalon Community Library until Friday 2nd March 2012.
