| Description | | The project has delivered two new correctional facilities:

- Marngoneet Correctional Centre - a new 300 bed medium security men’s correctional programs centre located adjacent to the existing HM Prison Barwon at Lara.
The new prisons enable Corrections Victoria to manage delivery of custodial services, prisoner worker industries, prisoner transport, and health, education and vocational services. The new design for the Remand Centre met the international standards for remand prisoners, accommodating them separately from convicted offenders. The design also provides for a legal centre and family visit area.

Signed on 23 December 2003, the contract is for a period of 25 years (post construction) and the private contractor is required to hand-back the facilities to the State in a condition of good repair.
The Marngoneet Correctional Centre opened on 3 March 2006 and the Melbourne Remand Cente officially opened in April 2006. |
