Welcome to the Bimberi Youth Justice Centre

Bimberi, is the new ACT Youth Justice Centre located on Morisset Road, Mitchell.  It signals a new direction for youth justice in the ACT.  The Centre will be the first human rights compliant Youth Justice Centre in Australia and comprises state of the art residential, education & training, recreation, administration and other support facilities enclosed by a secure perimeter. The new centre will replace the existing Quamby Youth Detention Centre.

The Centre, designed by architects Perumal Pedavoli, attempts to create a 'normal' environment for the young people, with separate zones for 'public' and 'private' activities. The access roads and car parking are provided outside the secure perimeter. The total site area including the buffer zone is 11.6ha.

Construction of the building, being undertaken by Hindmarsh Construction, began in mid 2007 with completion due by July 2008.
