The Victoria prisons projects is an availability-based PPP for the design, finance, construction and operations of two new correctional facilities for the State of Victoria, Australia. The operational period runs until 2031 and the availability payments are received from the State of Victoria.
The facilities are located approximately 20 km from the Melbourne city centre. They comprise the 550 bed men’s medium security Marngoneet Correctional Centre (“MCC”), and the 950 bed men’s maximum security Metropolitan Remand Centre (“MRC”). The MCC acts as the State’s major intensive treatment facility for male prisoners, offering treatment programs aimed at promoting rehabilitation, reducing repeat offending and preparing prisoners for transition back into the community.
