Hopkins Correctional Centre encases over 50 years of history. The prison is the largest employer in the area and is staffed by over 325 people around the clock, contractors, cleaners, admin staff and health workers. Not to mention all the licence plates in Victoria are produced by the inmates.
2017 saw major works began at the prison to expand the offering for the community – a secure 20 bed unit for sex offenders and violent criminals regarded as too much threat to be managed at Corella Place, Ararat. The new unit has created 100 jobs in the construction phase and 50 permanent positions on completion. The increased work opportunity has been welcomed in the community as a lot of people were left jobless when Stawell Gold Mine closed down.
The $30 million + upgrade makes Ararat Prison one of the first prisons in Victoria to combine community-style prison with the better living model, an innovative case management model for prisoner management in the act to reduce reoffending.
Enviroflex supplied a board insulation to Lawler Bricklaying Pty Ltd for the upgrades, in which they carried out the install.
