Revenue to CIMIC Group is approximately NZ$750 million.
Scope
The new Waikeria facility will be built on the site of the existing Waikeria Prison in the Waikato region (upper North Island) of New Zealand, as part of the New Zealand Government’s program to deliver a more effective and humane justice system.
The new facility will be operated by the Department of Corrections and is set to open in 2022.
