The EOI for the project was released in June 2002. It reached financial close in January 2004. The Project was designed to deliver two correctional centres in Victoria: the Marngoneet Correctional Centre, a 300 bed medium security correctional programme centre for male prisoners; and the Metropolitan Remand Centre, a new 600 bed maximum security prison for male prisoners on remand by courts. The $275 million project was awarded to the Victorian Correctional Infrastructure Partnership (a subsidiary of Bilfinger Berger BOT in partnership with Baulderstone Hornibrook and United Group) to design, build and maintain both prisons over 25 years.

Both prisons incorporate innovative and non-institutional designs considered best practice for prisons.
