Silverwater Prison Complex Conservation Area

The Silverwater Prison Complex Conservation Area features Georgian-style Newington House and multiple correctional facilities along the Parramatta River.

Established in 1829, the complex originated from John Blaxland's land grant of 1807, where he developed cattle farming and salt production operations.

The site holds significance as former territory of the Wangal clan, who carried out fishing and gathering activities along the Parramatta River.

The complex functions as an active correctional facility with separate sections for male and female inmates, including maximum and minimum security areas.

Newington House transformed from a private residence to a college, then to a hospital, and finally into the administrative center of the prison complex.
