The 350 bed Eastern Goldfields prison is being delivered as a full service public private partnership (PPP) project.

This multi-category facility will house men and women in minimum, medium, maximum and open security accommodation.

The facility will replace the existing prison which was built in the 1980s.

Challenges

The project faces several challenges, including the close proximity to an airport runway, as well as extreme environmental conditions.

Unique attributes

The prison includes special design considerations for green star initiatives and Indigenous issues.
