Council is pleased to have secured funding for conservation and protection works to the historically significant Omeo Justice Precinct courthouse buildings. The Old Courthouse was built in 1859 and the new Courthouse built in 1893. The project is jointly funded by Heritage Victoria and Council.

The works to be undertaken to the Old Courthouse building include repair to the brickwork, brick render repairs, extensive painting both internally and externally, repair to flooring and plastering, sub-floor ventilation, stormwater works and electrical upgrade.

Works to the new Courthouse include repairs to flooring, replacement of sub-floor timber framing, floor ventilation, roof repairs, tiling and painting, electrical upgrade works and some minor repairs to furniture.

To minimise the upcoming winter weather impact, works are currently focusing on external works to both buildings.

Works to the Omeo Heritage Precinct will provide significant improvement to the condition and ensure the preservation of these historic buildings.
