Project Description
Risdon Prison Complex Stage 1 Redevelopment
JMG provided statutory planning services to the Department of Justice for Stage 1 of the Prison Infrastructure Redevelopment Project.
The project followed on from the 2010 Palmer Enquiry, which produced a set of recommendations for improvements to the Risdon Prison Complex. The development proposal comprised the following:
- New 30 cell maximum secuirty accommodation unit;
- New multi purpose recreation hall;
- Extension to existing education and training facilities;
- Extensions to existing recreational facilities; and
- Upgrades to security systems.
JMG’s role in the project was to advise the Project Manager with regards to statutory planning issues and to prepare a planning submission for lodgement with the Clarence City Council.
The development was approved by Council in October 2012.
