Quality Builders has been appointed to build a new work camp in the Goldfields-Ngaanyatjarra region.
Corrective Services Minister Christian Porter said the appointment marked a significant milestone in the $17 million development.
"The new camp will be built at Warburton and accommodate 30 minimum-security male prisoners from the region," Mr Porter said. "It will operate as a community reintegration facility, with a strong focus on prisoners undertaking work in the community. "The camp will be designed to provide recreation, education, training and workshops to allow prisoners to reintegrate into their communities."
The camp is on target to be completed by mid-2011.
