When it was first established in 1976, the Belconnen Remand Centre was intended to hold around 16 people.Шаблон:Sfn The centre's construction had been considered and approved by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam's Cabinet in 1973.[1]
Four men escaped the remand centre in July 1988 through a roof in the exercise yard.[2]
In December 1992, then ACT Attorney-General Terry Connolly flagged that the remand centre should be replaced, due to its outmoded architecture and the high operating costs identified at the time.[3]
The ACT Government made the decision to build a new prison, the Alexander Maconochie Centre, and to decommission the Belconnen Remand Centre, in 2003.Шаблон:Sfn
A human rights audit of the operation of the Belconnen Remand Centre and other ACT correctional facilities was conducted in 2007, identifying issues to be avoided in the new Alexander Maconochie Centre, and matters to be improved in the meantime prior to the new prison's establishment.Шаблон:Sfn
