The organisation has secured $28,244 from the NSW government under its Crown Reserves Improvement fund to upgrade and repair the male and female amenities.
And while that won't pay for the whole job, club manager Peter Altona said it's a great start.
"The bathrooms are quite old from the original building, so the money will give us a chance to start projects and get it all up to standard," he told the NVI.
"We will have to source some more funding because it will still be quite expensive, but Crown lands have been able to give us a bit to at least start."
The good news comes as school programs return for another year, with Karate back next week.
Karate is held every Tuesday and Thursday from 5.30pm to 6.30pm for kids aged 5 to 16.
The program is open for any new kid to come down on a 'first in, best dressed' basis.
The PCYC also started it's very first didgeridoo program in Term 4, something it hopes to see flourish into 2021.
"We're continuing on with the program this term with the same group of kids who will go through now to fully finish their didgeridoo lessons," Mr Altona said.
"And hopefully we can get them to play it a lot more smoothly."
