The current Ayr Court House was designed by Douglas Francis Woodcraft Roberts and built from 1935 to 1941 by day labour. It was constructed on a site adjacent to the existing 1897 court house, and is the third court house in Ayr.
The Burdekin River region was first settled in the 1860s, and the town of Ayr was surveyed in 1882. Tenders called for a Court House and Police Station in Ayr in late 1882, and a building was erected in 1883 which comprised the police quarters, lock-up and court room.
The town grew in support of the increasing number of sugar plantations and small sugar growers establishing themselves in the region. By late 1896 the court room was inadequate for court purposes. Construction of a new courthouse commenced in 1897, the former room being taken over for use by the police.
