Blacktown City Council has announced a $25.4 million expansion of the Mount Druitt Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC).
The revamp will be funded from the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants (WSIG) program and will see the current PCYC building more than double in size to provide new spaces for more sport, recreation and community activities.
“This isn’t just about expanding a building, it’s about expanding opportunities,” said Mayor, Brad Bunting.
“Mount Druitt PCYC has long been a place where young people can develop skills, build friendships and stay active. This expansion means even more young people will have a safe and inspiring space to learn, play and grow.”
The expansion will feature two new multipurpose indoor courts, a new reception area and administration area, a youth hub gathering space, improved toilet facilities, and indoor and outdoor gathering areas.
NSW Member for Mount Druitt, Edmond Atalla said the expansion would be a game-changer for the community.
“It’s not just about new courts and gathering spaces, it’s about giving our young people a place to belong, grow, and discover their potential,” he said.
“This investment will create lasting positive change, strengthen community connections and inspire the next generation to dream big.”
PCYC NSW CEO, Ben Hobby said: “The extension to the PCYC Mount Druitt facility will enhance the court sports offering we can provide to the community and the additional youth hub area will benefit the positive impact we continue to have for the rising generation residing in Blacktown City area.”
The PCYC expansion is one of several major initiatives being delivered through an $86.9 million investment in Mount Druitt.
“This project is part of the bigger vision for the future of Mount Druitt and its surrounding suburbs which includes other key developments like the Dawson Mall redevelopment, the expansion of the Mount Druitt Library and Community Hub, the upgrade of the Mount Druitt Swimming Centre and the creation of a First Nations Cultural Hub,” Mayor Bunting said.
“This is an exciting time for the Mount Druitt community. Council is committed to making our city a better place to live, work, and play. The expanded PCYC will play a key role in this transformation, giving young people facilities they need to thrive.
“I’m delighted that community leaders are already celebrating the project’s potential.”
The Mount Druitt PCYC expansion is set to begin construction in 2026.
