A 6500sqm block of land in Caloundra South will be home to the Coast’s newest PCYC, which will
be easily accessible for hinterland residents, specifically youth, to use.
PCYCs deliver a range of community and youth focused activities and programs, which engage more than 50,000 young people each year.
Caloundra MP, Jason Hunt, said he was proud to be apart of this development.
“I have made it my priority to always advocate for new and improved infrastructure and facilities for the
people of Caloundra and the new PCYC will bring immense benefits to all members of the community,” he said.
“The centrally located site for the new PCYC club is ideal and I look forward to watching the project take shape as the construction phase begins.”
The PCYC would be home to a range of intervention and diversionary programs including Basketball and
or Boxing after dark and Braking the Cycle Driver mentoring program.
Division 1 councillor, Jenny Broderick, said it will be a great facility for the hinterland as well as Aura.
“Access will be incredibly easy and convenient, right off Bells Creek Arterial – a very short trip from Beerwah,” she said.
“Eventually the new Direct rail line will go from Beerwah to Nirimba, with the station being right
near the PCYC.
“Supporting our young people and families to be healthy and active at no charge – including a variety of sport, like basketball & gymnastics; Drop ins, leadership programs, driving courses and more.”
