10.01.2022 MEDIA RELEASE from Rene Hidding, Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Management: Derwent Valley PCYC "It was my pleasure to attend the official formation of the Derwent Valley PCYC (DVPCYC) at New Norfolk today (9 August 2016).... PCYCs are a great way of engaging with young people in our community, and the centre will be funded under a joint arrangement with the Government and the Derwent Valley Council with the Government providing $100,000. A vibrant PCYC movement has an important role to play in reducing the involvement of young people in dangerous, criminal or anti-social activities, and I am very pleased that the Derwent Valley PCYC will be able to help those young people most at risk in the local community. The Department of Police, Fire and Emergency Management will provide a full time police officer to the New Norfolk station who wil spend half his time at the new PCYC. I thank the Derwent Valley Council for their support and contribution in carrying out the next steps to ensure this important project progresses, and look forward to seeing the centre thrive in the Derwent Valley community."
