The 300-bed Southern Queensland Correctional Centre (SQCC), located near Gatton in the Lockyer Valley, is the State's newest prison. SQCC is the first completed stage of the Southern Queensland Correctional Precinct in Australia..
The centre provides secure placement accommodation for sentenced mainstream male prisoners classified as high or low security and has 104 secure and 196 residential beds.
The high proportion of residential style accommodation at the prison makes it suited to prisoners who have either completed their intervention and rehabilitation programs or who are close to being eligible for parole.
The prison will also include accommodation for aged and infirm prisoners in a residential unit and a medical centre providing palliative care.
How to get there:
The centre is off Gatton-Esk Road, approximately 10 km from the centre of Gatton located between gatton and spring creek, which lies 100 km by the Warrego Highway from Brisbane CBD.
