Architectural drawing of the Court House, Gin Gin

Queensland State Archives posted a photo:

The first court house in Gin Gin was constructed in 1882 and it was a Small Claims Court. In 1922, it was elevated to a Magistrates’ Court. The present (former) court house was constructed in 1935 and remains in its original location (the first court house is located at the rear of the newer building).

The Gin Gin Courthouse (former) demonstrates a rare aspect of the region’s history, as an intact timber court house built in the 1930s (and the earlier court house) is rare in the region. The prisoner’s dock and magistrate’s desk dating from the original courthouse and that remain in situ are also rare.
