Ballan Courthouse

The property

Built between 1872 and 1876 the building is one of the earliest remaining small courthouses in country Victoria.

We were appointed property manager in 2011. The building received a new lease of life through significant conservation works in late 2015. These works involved underpinning the existing footings, re-plastering and repair of brickwork.

Current Use

The Ballan Courthouse is currently used by the Ballan Shire Historical Society as a local history record and resource centre.

Visiting the Property

Ballan Courthouse is regularly open to the public. Please contact the Historical Society directly if you would like to access their archive or visit the site.
