The Mackay Court House is a two storey Georgian Revival building constructed of face brick with rendered detail. It was constructed in 1938 to replace the 19th-century court house which had long been inadequate.
At the time Andrew Leven was Government Architect. His office was responsible for the design of a number of public buildings in the Georgian Revival style. The Mackay Court House is amongst the grandest of these buildings with handsome internal detailing including panelled offices.
The foundation stone was laid on 31 March 1938 by Premier Forgan Smith. The new court house addressed Victoria Street where the first police lockup had been and thus provided the main street with an imposing public building.
