Goulburn Correctional Centre, Maximum security prison in New South Wales, Australia
Goulburn Correctional Centre is a facility for male inmates in southern New South Wales that includes both maximum and minimum security sections. The complex spreads across multiple buildings of brick and sandstone construction arranged around administrative and residential blocks.
The facility opened as Goulburn Gaol on July 1, 1884, following designs by colonial architect James Barnet with space for 728 prisoners. In 2001, the High Risk Management Centre was built as the nation's first supermax unit.
The sandstone gates and distinctive brickwork of the facility represent significant architectural elements that earned recognition in the State Heritage Register.
The facility sits about 197 kilometers (122 miles) southwest of Sydney on Maud Street in Goulburn. The administrative office handles general inquiries and communication.
The sandstone gates and brickwork earned the facility a place on the state heritage register. These elements reflect colonial-era construction and continue to define the appearance of the site today.
