PCYC asks for Men's Shed

The Umina PCYC has approached Gosford Council to build a shed on the site.

The proposed facility would be used by current not-for-profit programs such as the Alternative Learning Centre, as well as a new Men's Shed for its men's health support program.

The Umina PCYC is a charitable organisation that manages the council-owned site that has been zoned for community use.

Any structure being added to the location would be owned by the council at the end of the PCYC lease.

Representatives of the Umina PCYC have told council it would like to lodge a development application to construct a combined shed, meeting room and disability toilet facility adjacent to the premises of the PCYC building on the site at Osborne Ave.

A council report stated: "The building would be complimentary to the existing facility and provide external access to amenities that could enable better usage of the whole site.

"Parking is suitable for this type of facility and the programs running within it."

Council officers have recommended approval for the submission of the development application and that council waive the fees for the application.
