Mt Eden Prison

Project Background

The Mt Eden Prison site is being redeveloped to meet current and future needs. The redevelopment will involve works both within and outside of the historic prison walls. The existing men’s prison and most of the prison wall will be retained, and replacement and future accommodation will be provided in new buildings elsewhere on the prison site. One of the accommodation buildings will intrude into the southern yard of the existing men’s prison, and some late 19th and early 20th century buildings will be demolished. Some modification to the existing men’s prison will be required, as well as underground tunnelling linking the central remand prison to the accommodation buildings.

Location and Date

  • Mt Eden off Lauder Rd, Newmarket.
