Lord Mayor's Court Room

The Court Room is situated on the ground floor of the Hobart Town Hall at 50 Macquarie Street. The Town Hall is located on the original site of the first Government House and which now houses offices and functions rooms of the Lord Mayor.

The Lord Mayor's Court Room was previously the Police Headquarters housing the police offices and a municipal court. The original cedar and huon pine doors in the Court Room had been covered by plywood but were re-discovered in the early 1970s when the room was refurbished.

The Court Room is decorated with paintings from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and the City of Hobart Art Prize.
