Location

The Federal Court Registry in Queensland is located in the Harry Gibbs Commonwealth Law Courts at 119 North Quay, Brisbane. The building is at the corner of North Quay and Tank Street. The only pedestrian entrance is from Tank Street.

The public enquiry counter is located on level 6. This is where you will need to go to file documents and forms.

Courtrooms 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are located on level 7. Court rooms 6, 7 and 8 are located on level 6.

There are noticeboards on levels 6 and 7 which show the details of the cases which will be heard by the Court each day.

Security

For your security and safety, closed circuit television surveillance and perimeter security screening operates in the building. Your bag or personal belongings will be x-rayed (security staff can not assist with lifting heavy bags) and you will be asked to walk through a scanner. Refusal to comply may result in you being denied entry to the building. Items considered to be a security risk will be confiscated by staff and a receipt provided. They will be returned to you on departure from the building. Information about prohibited items is displayed in the building's foyer. If you have any concerns about your personal security or medical concerns about the screening process, please talk to one of the security staff.

You should allow extra time to proceed through security screening before your court appearance.

Hours

The public enquiry counter is open between 9:00am and 4:00pm. Telephone enquiries may be made between 8:30am and 5:00pm, except on weekends and public holidays.

The Court usually sits from 10:15am until 12:45pm and 2:15pm until 4:30pm. However, some court proceedings begin earlier so it is wise to check the Law List on this website or in The Courier Mail.

Transport and parking

The Registry is located within a short walk of Roma Street Railway Station. Buses from the city travel down George Street and stop between Turbot and Tank Streets.

Go to the TransLink website to find the most suitable route for you.

Public car parks which can be accessed from Tank Street and Roma Street are only a short distance from the Court. Parking for people with disabilities, a loading zone and a taxi rank are all located in Tank Street, adjacent to the Court building.
