The Property
Constructed in 1864, the Beaufort Courthouse operated until the 1980s and heard minor criminal cases, it functioned as a County Court, and as a Court of Mines which was responsible for hearing mining disputes for the region.
We were appointed property manager in 2006, undertaking extensive works to revitalise the building to assist with its continued community use.
Current Use
The Beaufort Court House has been home to the Beaufort Historical Society since the court closed in 1982.
Visiting the Property
Beaufort Courthouse is regularly open to the public for access to the historical society’s extensive collection. Please contact the Historical Society directly if you would like to access their archive or visit the site.
