Architects: Crawford Wegman Shurman ArchitectsThe Hobart Magistrates Court is built on the site of Tasmanian Heritage listing for the Blundstones Boot Factory, with part of the original façade and internal features retained. Blundstone’s Boot Factory is situated on Campbell Street, one of the main roads into Hobart’s CBD. The building is well known locally and makes a significant contribution to the historic streetscape. This original section is listed on the Tasmanian Heritage Register.In 1995 the building underwent phase 1 of development, to become the Hobart Magistrates Court we know today. There are secure corridors connecting the Court with the Hobart Reception Prison next door, to allow the secure transfer of defendants in custody between the Court and the Prison.
Note: Photography is allowed in the public foyer and in some parts of court rooms only (excludes the area behind the magistrate’s bench). No photography is allowed in secure corridors, magistrates chambers area or in in the Registry offices.
