Builder appointed to construct new Burnie Courts Complex

The Tasmanian Government has awarded the contract for the construction of the new Burnie Courts Complex to Fairbrother, signalling a major step forward in delivering this important project.

Fairbrother is a respected Tasmanian business with a long and successful history of delivering major projects right across the state.

Attorney-General, Guy Barnett, said our Government is delivering for Tasmanians, ensuring access to justice in the North West of the State by providing contemporary fit-for-purpose infrastructure for the community.

“This project will help revitalise the Burnie CBD, delivering jobs and investment for the North West,” the Attorney-General said.

“We will keep the community updated as this significant project continues to progress.”

Importantly, the new court complex will:

• Ensure access to justice for the North West community through the provision of two Magistrates Courts, one Supreme Court and one flexible multi-jurisdictional Court;
• Improve safety and amenity for all court-users;
• Improve disability access; and
• Enable contemporary functioning of the facilities, including through the use of technology.

The replacement Complex will be constructed at 106 Wilson Street in Burnie’s Central Business District.
