The Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre (AGCC) is a high security remand centre for male prisoners with a capacity for 890 single beds, located 20 kilometres south-east of Brisbane. Remandees are prisoners awaiting sentencing in custody and require accommodation that is segregated from convicted prisoners and located close to court facilities and social services.
The proposed development options include:
- construction of new cell blocks at the existing facility;
- the construction of cells at a new greenfield site;
- reform options to reduce forecast demand; and
- upgraded and expanded prisoner support services facilities.
The proposal is addressing the capacity limitations at AGCC. The facility is already over capacity by 35 per cent, resulting in 600 remandees sharing single occupant cells.
Building Queensland (BQ) identified the AGCC as a priority project in their Infrastructure Pipeline Report, released December 2016. BQ led the development of the detailed business case, which was completed in late 2017. The business case is awaiting review by the Queensland Government and has since been combined with the business case for Southern Queensland Correctional Precinct (Gatton)Stage 2.
AGCC is Queensland's largest correctional facility. It is privately managed and operated by GEO Group Australia, under contract with the Queensland Correctional Services. Queensland Correctional Services is retendering the operations and management of the centre, with the request for expressions of interests closing in January 2018.
