Remand centres—Symonston
(Question No 903)

Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Corrections, upon notice, on 23 September 2022:

What is the current usage status of the former Symonston Remand Centre.

Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

The Symonston Correctional Centre (SCC) is no longer fit for use as a correctional facility. While the SCC is still declared as an ACT Correctional Centre, it would require extensive works to bring the current infrastructure to an acceptable security and safety standard as a full-time correctional facility and it remains closed for this purpose.
The SCC is used on occasions by ACTCS and other JACS agencies for training purposes.
