Restrictions on sites
Landmate is a highly successful program that has been providing labour for environmental projects throughout Victoria for 25 years. As part of giving prisoners the opportunity to develop skills and contribute to the community, a rigorous risk assessment process is conducted for each project a Landmate crew works on.
Certain sites, such as those close to schools, may not be suitable for prisoners to work near - or works may need to be scheduled during periods such as school holidays.
