Consultation has now concluded
A Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) has been discussed positively in the community and in Council for many years. A lease has been prepared which would enable PCYC to operate in the Queanbeyan Indoor Sports Centre and is now open for public exhibition and comment.
We continually review options to ensure the best opportunities for the community at the lowest cost can be offered at the highest level of efficiency. Although Council teams are providing exceptional service in youth and sport initiatives, they are unlikely to ever gain the reputation, experience and breadth of options that a PCYC could bring.
PCYC has built a strong reputation for providing extensive programs to all ages in the community. It is considered that the long term financially sustainable delivery of youth and sporting programs will be best served by collaboration with a PCYC.
A PCYC in Queanbeyan will offer a much broader range of opportunities for the community in active, cultural and community programs. It has also committed to providing the current community programs and uses for the sports centre. Their operations will be guided by a committee including Council and community members.
The benefits of a PCYC include:
Extended operating hours
A more diverse range of activities and options for youth – sporting, creative, cultural, vocational
A broad range of options for all ages – sporting, creative, cultural
Intensive programs for youth at risk
Program delivered throughout the LGA
All PCYCs also provide a drop-in centre for youth
To enable this to happen, PCYC would take over all operations of the Queanbeyan Indoor Sports Centre.
Council will continue to operate and support the Youth Advisory Committee and programs for youth run by the Library, The Q and the cultural arts areas including grant funded youth-specific programs. The re-purposing of the AXIS Youth Centre and the surrounding buildings will be considered by Council and may require expressions of interest from community groups. Council has already received a number of approaches to include a community hub and youth activity spaces.
