Tambo Court House and Visitor Information Centre

9 Arthur Street, Tambo, QLD

Built in 1888, Tambo Court House was the town’s second courthouse and an important part of its early civic history. Today, the heritage-listed timber building houses the Tambo Visitor Information Centre and Public Library, welcoming visitors into a place that has served the local community for more than a century.

Step inside and see original courtroom features, including the witness stand, prisoner’s box and judge’s bench, which remain in the building. These features offer a glimpse into the courthouse’s former role in the administration of justice across the district.

The courthouse was used for judicial purposes until 1983, before being acquired by Tambo Shire Council. The public library moved into the building in 1991, giving it a new role as a place for information and community use.

Located at 9 Arthur Street, the Tambo Court House is a worthwhile stop for visitors interested in local history, heritage architecture and the stories behind Tambo’s development. While there, call in to the Visitor Information Centre for information about the town and surrounding region.
