Queensland’s newest prison in the Lockyer Valley is receiving a significant boost in safety measures and enhancements. Corrective Services Minister Nikki Boyd recently toured the construction site to inspect the progress, which is expected to be completed later this year. The government has allocated an additional $25 million to improve security, implement drone detection technology, and create industry spaces to support prisoner rehabilitation efforts. With a total cost of $885 million, the 1536-bed facility is set to operate under a rehabilitation-focused model to provide essential health services and programs. Recruitment for various roles is ongoing, with the commissioning expected to begin later this year. This prison is a vital component of the state government’s commitment to ensuring community safety under the Big Build initiative.
