Line 75:
Bowen Court House was listed on the [[Queensland Heritage Register]] on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.<ref name=qhr/>
'''The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland
The Bowen Court House is important in demonstrating the early prominence of Bowen, being considerably more grand than other early courts at Townsville and Charters Towers; both of which towns were to eclipse Bowen. As the first Supreme Court outside Brisbane, it also illustrates the way in which a legal system was established and government services provided in the developing north of the colony. The inclusion of a second function as a Post Office indicates both the need for economy and the importance given to the role of communications services.<ref name=qhr/>
'''The place demonstrates rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Queensland
The court house remains substantially unchanged since completion and retains the major components of its original furniture, which is now rare.<ref name=qhr/>
Line 91:
Bowen Court House is an important component of the streetscape of Bowen. It is a well designed and prominent public building and an excellent example of the high quality work produced by the Colonial Architects office.<ref name=qhr/>
'''The place has a special association with the life or work of a particular person, group or organisation of importance in Queensland
It is associated with the life and work of GS Connolly (1847-1901) and FDG Stanley (1839-1897) of the Colonial Architects office who made a great contribution to the building of Queensland.<ref name=qhr/>
