The
Sunshine Coast Police Citizens Youth Club (originally the Nambour Police Youth
Club) was opened in July 1975 on a 5.5 hectare site in Youth Avenue Nambour and
was made possible through the donation of the land and enormous fundraising by
members of the local Community. Their aim was to provide a sporting and
recreational facility for the area and for the P.C.Y.C. to foster relationships
between young people on the Sunshine Coast and members of the police force. The Queensland Police Service provides support with the posting of a Sergeant of Police as Branch Manager to provide the vital link with youth and crime prevention. The
P.C.Y.C. offers something for everyone with a wide range of activities. The aim is to
provide a low cost facility for the whole family. Whilst
the club does not attract on going funding, over years several
grants have been received for upgrading the facility from Jupiter's and Gaming
Machine Benefit funds, Dept Family Services, Qld Community Foundation and
donations from local community based organisations such as the Nambour Masonic
Lodge and Maroochy Shire Council grants. These, together with donations from
local businesses have enabled the club to continue its' vital role in the
community. The P.C.Y.C. Management Committee comprises of local members of the
community together with the Branch Manager and they would welcome any support in
their aim to have the Sunshine Coast P.C.Y.C. home to all families on the coast.
