The Northern Territory Secure Facilities (NTSF) is a new correctional facility, located just outside of Darwin. The facilities allow Northern Territory Corrections to engage prisoners into structured daily programs in order to foster rehabilitation and stronger re-integration. The project heralds a significant new approach to corrections in the Territory as it includes three separate centres, each with a different and complementary role in the broader corrections context:
- A 1,000 bed multi-classification men and women’s correctional centre to replace the existing outdated facilities at Berrimah
- A 30 bed secure mental health and behavioral management center, a first of its kind in the Territory
- A 48 bed prisoner pre-release work village with facilities designed to support the government’s goals of enhanced rehabilitation, education and reduced reoffending rates in the Territory.
The operational runs until October 2044. The revenues are 100% availability based. The Project is one of the largest social Infrastructure projects in the Northern Territory and its largest PPP.
