In 1995 , the PCC started a building programme, which was aimed at providing facilities that various community groups could benefit from. Once the land was purchased from the Council.
The first phase (community office block) was constructed to provide office space for civic, welfare and sports organisations. Today this facility provided office space for the SAFA Phoenix, offices for the local councillor and office space for several SMME`s.

In 1997, the second phase of the building programme (community Creche) was developed and accommodated about 80 children from Phoenix and some children from Kwa Mashu and Inanda. The Creche provided an excellent learning centre for childrens parents were unemployed or low-income earners. In 2003, the creche was converted into a training centre for early childhood education. Each year some 50 women were trained to run creches from their homes.

In the year 2000, the PCC embarked on a programme to build an indoor sports centre. With financial contributions from the eThekwini Municipality, the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund and various other donors, the sports centre was build and opened to the public in 2003.

As part of our development programme, we started the building of a Youth Centre in Phoenix in 2007.The Centre would cater for programmes around youth leadership, life skills, youth newspaper, drug abuse and HIV/Aids and other social activities for the youth. Funding for the construction of the R5M youth centre was generated through donations form the local community and from local business.
