In November 2011 Lietzke Doors was awarded the contract to design, supply and install all the windows, doors and door frames for the Cobham Juvenile Justice Centre Stage 3 Redevelopment. This challenging project includes a very wide range of products and includes all the high, medium and low security needs for windows, frames, doors and various access hatches.

“The project offers an excellent opportunity to re-visit the organizational framework of the existing centre originally constructed in the 1970’s. Modernise its facilities to meet current demands, re connect it to the landscape and re think how a detention centre can deliver appropriate services to the community. The redevelopment of the existing 85 Bed centre will include; an additional 54 beds, new school and clinic, staff office/support facilities, expanded recreational facilities around a series  of consolidated courtyards and car parking for staff and emergency services.” NSW Government, Public Works, Government Architects Office

As part of a major overhaul of the Youth Justice System in South Australia, a new 60-bed secure Youth Training Centre (YTC) is being built on a new green field’s site at Goldsborough Road, Cavan.  The new YTC will deliver a new era for youth justice in South Australia where new facilities are raised to the standards of the excellent care and rehabilitation programs that are already being delivered.  The construction phase is progressing well and is expected to be competed in mid 2012.

As well as being secure, the Centre will allow more options and increased flexibility to manage and help young people according to their individual circumstances.

Lietzke Australia has supplied and installed the medium and high security door, barrier and window requirements throughout the Centre.  Lietzke worked closely with the architects, the security consultants and the builder.  The Lietzke bedroom door frame incorporates the access control, all the electrical controls including room lighting, the communication panel and audio visual television controls into the cast in the door frame.  This all-in-one concept has assisted with cost and time savings.
