Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison Redevelopment Project
Project Overview
Formed and led by Capella Capital, the Assure Partners consortium entered into an agreement with the Western Australian State Government to design, build, finance and maintain the Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison (EGRP) Redevelopment Project located at Kalgoorlie-Boulder in Western Australia.
Through a PPP procurement model, Capella Capital, with consortium members John Holland and Pindan Joint Venture (Design & Construct Subcontractor) and Honeywell (Facility Management Subcontractor), delivered the EGRP Redevelopment Project, creating a new state-of-the-art 350 bed prison, catering for both genders across all security ratings.
With a contract term of approximately 25 years, this project delivers substantially greater capacity than the previous ageing infrastructure. A 2026 expansion has further increased total capacity from 350 to 416 beds. Operations commenced at the prison in August 2016.
Dexus acquired a 100% shareholding in the asset in 2016. Capella Capital provides ongoing local asset management services in Western Australia to Dexus and continues to act as the primary liaison with the Department of Justice during the operating phase.
Project Benefits
Design and Innovation
- Cox Architecture focused on a design that incorporates therapeutic environments and culturally responsive facilities, which includes extensive integration of Aboriginal art into the building's façade and interiors.
Sustainability
- The facility utilises recycled water sourced from the local government for irrigation of the oval.
Community engagement and enhancement
- Community benefits are realised through the proximate location of the facility to families and friends, affording greater rehabilitative opportunities for offenders from the Goldfields region.
- Public art enhances the new facility, with the inclusion of new works and replication of two significant Aboriginal art wall murals from the former facility.
