NorthernPathways consortium named Preferred Bidder for the New Grafton Correctional Centre
The Australian New South Wales Government has selected NorthernPathways consortium for the development of the new Grafton Correctional Centre PPP project.
NorthernPathways is a consortium of four companies which are local and international leaders in their fields:
- Serco – a leading operator of correctional facilities in Australia, New Zealand and the UK
- John Holland – operating in Australia for over 60 years, a Tier 1 Australian builder and recognised leader in the corrections sector
- John Laing – with an unsurpassed global track record as independent investor and manager of PPP projects
- Macquarie Capital – Australia’s recognised financial advisory leader in infrastructure and PPP projects
The project, which will be located about 12.5 kilometres south-east of Grafton, will be made up of individual facilities which will hold three different categories of inmates safely, securely and entirely separately. It will include a 1000-bed male maximum security facility; a 300-bed female maximum security facility; and a 400-bed male minimum security facility. Both the centre itself, and the programs that inmates will participate in, are designed with the goal of reducing reoffending and making our communities safer.
Construction is due to commence in mid-2017 and the new Centre will open in 2020.
