Statement of Significance
The court house is architecturally significant and aesthetically pleasing. It is an important civic building which has served the community since 1913 and is still in use.
The contrasting ceiling heights of the Court Room and ancillary rooms are expressed in the general form of the building in a most satisfactory manner. The treatment of the facades with contrasting red brick and rendered decorations provide a lively composition.
Physical Description
The Court House is a well proportioned single storey red brick building with a Marseilles tile roof. The street façade is adorned with an embossed coat of arms flanked by decorated arches leading to the entry porch.
The Court Room and entrance porch are contained in a central rectangle with a high entry covered with a steeply pitched hipped roof with gable vents. From the centre of this roof springs a metal clad domed vent tower topped by a weather cock. Rooms ancillary to the Court Room are housed in lower ceilinged wings on either side.
The Court Room is a lofty space with arched clerestory windows to the rear. The ceiling has been modernised.
