The Re-Opening of A New Look PCYC

The official opening of the $2.7 million refurbished Moree Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) held in Moree was attended by councillors, dignitaries, police officials and community members who were ‘Welcomed to Country’ by Elder Barry Sampson, entertained by the pupils of Moree East School and the dance group Yulugi Marumali.

The newly upgraded, modern facility will support and help foster strong partnerships with the Moree police and the community, alongside helping children achieve their best through structured programs.

Mayor Mark Johnson said “The PCYC is instrumental in bringing the community together and is invaluable to the Moree community and for the betterment of our younger generation. This modernised venue offers a safe environment and meeting space for the community to participate in a range of sports and recreational activities, and Council is proud to have assisted in funding the upgrade.”

Among the dignitaries were The Hon. Adam Marshall and The Hon. Mark Coulton who amongst others had the honour of planting one of the trees at the PCYC in honour and commemoration of The Queen and her 70 years of service as Australia’s Head of State.  A program under The Australian Government’s Planting Trees for the Queen’s Jubilee to honour the service of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
