Mackay Courthouse is historically a very important building and an excellent example of early 20th century architecture.

The courthouse is built in the Georgian revival style, completed in 1939 to the design of government architect A.B. Leven. The courthouse’s construction was part of the employment thrust driven by the Great Depression.

In 2003, the building underwent major reconfiguration and refurbishment to restore it to distinction. A significant extension was added to the courthouse comprising four new courtrooms, judicial chambers, jury facilities, interview rooms, vulnerable witness room, public waiting areas and a lift.

The original courthouse building was upgraded to provide a stately courtroom for supreme court sittings, featuring timber joinery and furniture and additional office facilities. Closed-circuit television was also installed during the project.
