The requirement
Borallon Correctional Centre in Queensland required temporary correctional centre kitchen facilities to support daily catering for approximately 300 inmates.
The secure facility needed reliable commercial cooking, dishwashing and refrigerated food storage capabilities.
A practical modular solution was required to maintain meal preparation and food service operations while meeting the centre’s operational needs.
Our solution
Mobile Kitchens supplied three purpose-built 6m modular commercial kitchen units to the Department of Corrective Services.
The installation included a Hotline Kitchen, Warewash Module and Cold Room, providing separate areas for commercial cooking, equipment cleaning and refrigerated storage.
Together, the facilities supported daily meal production for approximately 300 inmates. The modular configuration allowed essential catering functions to operate within the correctional centre’s secure environment.
This project demonstrates how modular kitchen infrastructure can support large-scale institutional catering requirements without the need for a traditional permanent kitchen installation.
Equipment and features
The temporary kitchen installation included:
- 1 × 6m Hotline Kitchen – Commercial cooking and meal preparation facilities.
- 1 × 6m Warewash Module – Dedicated commercial dishwashing and cleaning facilities.
- 1 × 6m Cold Room – Refrigerated storage for ingredients and food supplies.
The three modules provided essential catering infrastructure to support the centre’s daily operations.
