Brisbane Magistrates Court, Criminal and civil court building in Brisbane, Australia

The Brisbane Magistrates Court is a purpose-built facility at 363 George Street, opened in 2004, containing 26 courtrooms, including a dedicated Murri Court, two Coroners courts and four Small Claims hearing rooms. It can expand to 39 courtrooms, and its design includes rainwater tanks holding 46,000 litres for external landscaping and passive sun control.

The building opened on November 16, 2004, bringing contemporary judicial facilities to downtown Brisbane. It replaced older court operations and was constructed to meet the expanding demands of the state's justice system.

Among the 26 courtrooms is a dedicated Murri Court, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders sit alongside the magistrate in sentencing. The building also houses two Coroners courts and four Small Claims hearing rooms. Its design was intended to improve support for victims, their families and vulnerable witnesses.

The building sits at 363 George Street in Brisbane's central business district, and its 26 courtrooms include a dedicated Murri Court, two Coroners courts and four Small Claims hearing rooms. The design allows expansion to 39 courtrooms. Rainwater tanks holding 46,000 litres feed the external landscaping, and motion sensors lower lighting and air-conditioning in unoccupied rooms.

The building was one of the largest projects to apply the Queensland Government's Art Built-in policy, which required two per cent of the capital works budget to go to art. Visitors can spot sculptures, murals and paintings across the A$135.5 million complex, opened in 2004.
