Australia and Papua New Guinea Collaborate to Build New Police Barracks, Enhancing Law Enforcement Capacity
Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Australia have reaffirmed their commitment to bolstering law enforcement efforts by jointly constructing several new police barracks across the country.
Construction has recently commenced on the new Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary barracks in Mt Hagen. Once completed, the facility will accommodate up to 180 police personnel. This initiative is part of the ongoing collaboration between PNG and Australia under the Bilateral Security Agreement.

The new barracks are expected to contribute to an increase in police numbers in PNG, thereby enhancing essential policing services for communities nationwide.
Commissioner of Police, David Manning, Assistant Commissioner of the PNG Australia Policing Partnership, Jamie Strauss, and Governor of Western Highlands, Wai Rapa, have inaugurated the commencement of construction on the Western Highlands project. This project aims to provide accommodation for graduates of the recruit training program at the Bomana Centre of Excellence in Port Moresby.
Both Australia and PNG have expressed satisfaction with their robust policing partnership and their joint efforts to work closely with provincial governments in delivering vital projects like these.
Australia reaffirms its commitment to standing alongside PNG every step of the way to ensure that law enforcement agencies can effectively maintain safety and security across communities in PNG. This collaboration underscores the enduring bond between the two nations in safeguarding the welfare of their citizens.
