According to this article, the Australian government has recently announced it will nominate the Parramatta Female Factory for World Heritage listing.

However, a call is also being made for the entire site on which the convict-era Parramatta Female Factory (built in 1821) stands to be nominated for World Heritage listing.

The argument is that other notorious institutions have existed on the site:

“This precinct is by no means merely a relic of the convict era. Only 15 years ago, part of the site was a women’s prison. And from 1887 to 1974, it housed the notorious Parramatta Girls’ Home” writes Jacqueline Z. Wilson.
