Townsville's District Court is set to resume operations on Tuesday, November 28, bringing another round of legal proceedings to the North Queensland region. The court sessions will address multiple cases across various courtrooms, continuing the important work of Queensland's justice system.
Court Schedule and Proceedings
The District Court will conduct business as usual across its courtrooms, with judges presiding over both criminal and civil matters. Courtroom 4 will be particularly active, handling several cases that require judicial attention. The court registry will maintain standard operating hours to facilitate legal professionals and the public accessing court services.
Local legal representatives have prepared their matters for presentation before the bench. The court's docket includes both scheduled hearings and matters carried over from previous sessions. All proceedings will follow established court protocols and adhere to the Queensland court system's rigorous standards.
Legal Community Preparations
Lawyers and barristers from across Townsville and surrounding regions have been preparing their cases for the November 28 sittings. The court's calendar typically includes sentencing hearings, bail applications, and case management conferences. Local law firms have coordinated with court staff to ensure smooth operation of all listed matters.
The Townsville Courthouse, located at 39 Walker Street, will host these proceedings in its dedicated District Court facilities. Security screening and COVID-safe measures remain in place for all visitors and participants. The courthouse has implemented comprehensive protocols to maintain health and safety while ensuring access to justice.
Community Impact and Access
Regular court sittings play a crucial role in maintaining the rule of law throughout North Queensland.

These November sessions represent the continuing commitment to timely justice delivery in the region.
Members of the public interested in observing court proceedings may attend, subject to courtroom capacity and any publication restrictions on specific cases. The court encourages community understanding of legal processes while respecting the privacy and rights of all participants involved in each matter.
Court officials emphasize that all listed cases are subject to change, with some matters potentially being resolved before reaching the courtroom or being rescheduled due to operational requirements. Legal professionals involved in the November 28 sittings have been notified of their specific listing times and courtroom assignments.
