The Peel Community Development Group (PCDG) is an independent not-for profit organisation hosted by the Peel Development Commission that was established in 2001. The PCDG works to support and strengthen a positive sustainable community development process in the Peel region, whilst advocating for and supporting the work of the community sector.
Peel Early Years Group
Peel Early Years Group (PEYG) is a voluntary, community group comprising of parents and professionals from health, parenting programs, education, childcare centres, family day cares, local government and other stakeholder agencies. The group endeavors to provide, by encouraging integrated working across stakeholders, a cohesive response to increase awareness and educate the community of the importance of a child’s first few years of life.
BRICS - Peel
BRICS Building Resilience in Community Services – Peel project is a partnership initiative between Peel Community Development Group Inc (PCDG) and the WA Council of Social Service (WACOSS). The project will, simultaneously, deliver training and development opportunities to Peel as well as investigate shared services or cluster models of sustainability increasing the resilience of the sector. In this way the project is seen as a building block of building capacity in the community sector of the Peel Region. Hence the project name ‘Building Resilience In Community Services – Peel’ or BRICS – Peel.
Binjarb Art Trail
In June 2008 the Peel Community Development Group Inc (PCDG) was engaged by the Southern Gateway Alliance (SGA) and Main Roads WA (MRWA) to develop a project that would engage local communities to showcase and market the Peel region along with individual localities through art work displayed at various parking bays along the 74.5km stretch of the Forrest Highway.
‘What art offers is space – a certain breathing room for the spirit’, John Updike
Street Net Youth Service
Street Net Youth Service has been operating in the Peel Region since February 1999, providing support, information and referral to ‘at risk’ young people.
George Street Hub
The ‘George St Hub’ aims to develop a flourishing and viable community precinct with a strong youth element. It is located at 28 George St, PInjarra. The Peel Community Development Group Inc (PCDG) leases the premises from the Shire of Murray. The central position of the George St Hub both in Pinjarra (main street setting) and in the Peel Region makes an ideal location for an outreach, co-locators model assisting the Shire of Murray, neighboring Local Governments and the Peel community sector.
