Customs House, Rockhampton, Heritage customs house in Quay Street, Rockhampton, Australia

The Customs House is a two-storey building at 208 Quay Street, designed by Thomas Pye with George Payne and built from 1899 to 1900 by Caskie and Thompson. It is the third customs house on the site, replacing an 1863 masonry building whose shallow foundations failed in the clay soil. It is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.

The present Customs House, the third on the site, was built from 1899 to 1900 by Caskie and Thompson; the design is attributed to Thomas Pye with George Payne of the Public Works Department. Tenders were called in March 1898 and the previous customs house was demolished that May. It replaced an 1863 masonry building whose shallow foundations in clay had failed, and it was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 7 February 2005.

The site's name comes from the customs duties collected there after Rockhampton was proclaimed a port in 1858, before Queensland separated from New South Wales. The 1899 building was the third customs house on the reserve, replacing an 1863 masonry building whose shallow foundations failed in clay. The Archer brothers' 1853 wharf and the Canoona gold rush of 1858, which brought over eight thousand diggers, made the landing place the centre of river trade.

The building sits at 208 Quay Street in the city center along the Fitzroy River waterfront and is easy to reach on foot. It forms a natural stopping point when exploring the heritage precinct around the Central Business District.

The 1899 building was the third customs house on this site: the 1863 masonry predecessor developed failing foundations in clay, and repeated repairs through the 1880s and 1890s could not fix it. Tenders for demolition were called in March 1898 and the old structure came down that May.
