Erected in 1937, the Nanango Courthouse survives as an important landmark of Nanango's development as an official centre for the South Burnett district of Queensland.

Nanango Courthouse is a fine example of a timber courthouse in a provincial centre and replaced an earlier courthouse erected in 1912. It is a symmetrically-planned single-storey building with a corrugated-iron roof and a wide verandah on three sides.

The roof is low-pitched, with prominent gables and wide overhanging eaves. The projecting entrance is distinguished by a small gable on paired timber posts. Behind it is a half-gabled roof. The main ridge of the roof is surmounted by a large ventilator, with a flagpole, which forms the dominant decorative element of the building.

Government architect A.B. Leven designed the building.
