The centre opened in 1976 and closed in 2009. At times, it held a small number of illegal immigrants.{{citation needed|date=August 2014}} When it was first established in 1976, the Belconnen Remand Centre was intended to hold around 16 people.{{sfn|ACT Human Rights Commission|2007|p=23}} The centre's construction had been considered and approved by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam's Cabinet in 1973.[2] Four men escaped the remand centre in July 1988 through a roof in the exercise yard.[3] In December 1992, then ACT Attorney-General Terry Connolly flagged that the remand centre should be replaced, due to its outmoded architecture and the high operating costs identified at the time.[4] The ACT Government made the decision to build a new prison, the Alexander Maconochie Centre, and to decommission the Belconnen Remand Centre, in 2003.{{sfn|ACT Human Rights Commission|2007|p=24}} A human rights audit of the operation of the Belconnen Remand Centre and other ACT correctional facilities was conducted in 2007, identifying issues to be avoided in the new Alexander Maconochie Centre, and matters to be improved in the meantime prior to the new prison's establishment.{{sfn|ACT Human Rights Commission|2007|p=iii}} References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2009/05/07/2563620.htm|first=Jo|last=Laverty|title=The Belconnen Remand Centre|date=21 May 2009|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Commission|archiveurl=|archivedate=29 April 2013}} 2. ^{{citation|title=Prisons and remand centres|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140311142001/http://guides.naa.gov.au/records-about-act/part2/chapter12/12.4.aspx|url=http://guides.naa.gov.au/records-about-act/part2/chapter12/12.4.aspx|archivedate=11 March 2014|publisher=National Archives of Australia|first=Ted|last=Ling}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article102033200|title=Four escape remand centre|date=19 July 1988|page=3|newspaper=The Canberra Times}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article126962745|title=Govt looks at replacing Belconnen remand centre|date=16 December 1992|first=Hugh|last=Lamberton|newspaper=The Canberra Times|page=19}} Further reading{{refbegin}}
