Toowoomba Police Station Complex, Heritage-listed police complex in Toowoomba, Australia

The Toowoomba Police Station Complex at 50–52 Neil Street consists of four brick buildings built in 1935: a two-storey police station with a single-storey rear section, a garage, a watch house, and a watch house keeper's residence. The site has frontages to both Neil and Hume Streets, and the watch house and residence were joined in 1988.

A lock-up and barracks stood here from Toowoomba's early years, and in 1881 a two-storeyed U-shaped brick police station with barracks, lock-up and keeper's quarters was completed on the Neil Street site. In 1935 the old buildings were demolished, except the 1915 Senior Sergeant's timber quarters, which served as the station during construction. The new complex, part of a public works programme spending £15,000 on local wages from January to August 1935, was designed by Raymond Clare Nowland and added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 5 October 1998.

The buildings display Arts and Crafts design elements through their face brick construction and rounded arch openings, which reflect how public buildings looked in 1930s Queensland. You can see these design choices in the careful brickwork and window details as you walk around the complex.

The site sits at the corner of Neil Street and Hume Street, making it easy to spot and approach on foot from nearby streets. Visit during daylight hours when you can see the architectural details of the brick facades and building forms clearly.

Raymond Clare Nowland, the Department of Public Works architect, amended his original drawings after consulting police at every level, from the night watch house constable to the district inspector. Their requests shaped the garage, the watch house and the main station's recreation area, so the layout records the working needs of the local force rather than a standard plan.
