The Berrima Correctional Centre opened in 1839, and held maximum and minimum-security male and female prisoners, including being used as a prisoner camp during World War 1.
Located close to cafes, parks, rivers, and Australia’s oldest continually licensed Inn, the property has two historic cottages, a tennis court, industrial shed, and a commercial kitchen, in addition to the gaol’s 60 cells, watch tower, guard offices and commercial space.
Berrima Correctional Centre was closed in 2020 as it was no longer fit-for-purpose and surplus to Corrective Service NSW’s requirements.
In 2022 the Berrima Gaol site was sold by the NSW Government via an expression of interest campaign, with the Blue Sox Group being the successful bidder. The historic site is currently closed to the public.
