Northern Territory Secure Facilities

The Darwin Correctional Centre project is a major availability-based PPP involving the design, build, finance, and maintenance of a large multifunctional correctional complex in Holtze, Northern Territory.

Operational since 2014, it includes three distinct facilities: a 1,000-bed multiclassification male and female correctional centre, a 24-bed secure mental health and behavioral management centre, and a 48-bed supported accommodation and programme centre for community-based offenders.

Developed as part of the Northern Territory Governments ‘New Era in Corrections’ initiative, the facility plays a central role in rehabilitation and reintegration efforts, especially focused on reducing Indigenous over-representation in custody. The project remains the largest PPP in the Northern Territory and the primary intake facility for the region.

Sustainability

Delivered in November 2014, Darwin Correctional Centre spans an estimated combined floor area of 67,000m². The facility was designed and constructed with sustainability and responsibility in mind, adopting a whole-of-life approach to maximize efficiencies and deliver value for money to the Territory.

The Portfolio Company, in collaboration with the FM Contractor, actively monitors energy performance during the concession, continuously seeking opportunities to reduce emissions.
