Bowen Courthouse is a heritage-listed court house, located in Herbert Street, Bowen in Queensland, Australia.
The courthouse was completed in 1881 in the classical revival style. It is a two-storey building and was constructed in rendered brick with a corrugated iron roof.[1]
It is still in use today and contains most of the original furniture and features.[1]
History
The building was designed in the Colonial Architect's office by GS Connolly.
It underwent a $4 million refurbishment in November 2004. The work included the installation of an additional courtroom, closed-circuit television, a lift and videoconferencing technology. The refurbishments were completed in late 2006.
The courthouse is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register in 1992.[2] It has also been listed by the National Trust of Queensland and the Australian Heritage Commission.
