Roma District Court

The Roma District Court, as a regional registry of the District Court of Queensland, it serves serious criminal and substantial civil matters arising in the Western and South‑West districts of the state.

Role & Jurisdiction

As part of the District Court system, Roma District Court deals with:

• Serious criminal offences beyond the Magistrates Court jurisdiction — these include indictable offences which may proceed to jury trial or judge‑alone trial at this level.
• Significant civil disputes within the District Court’s civil jurisdiction (higher value/complexity than Magistrates Court matters).
• Pre‑trial hearings, sentencing, and major procedural steps involved in matters at this elevated jurisdiction.

Location & Access

• Address: 141 McDowall Street, Roma QLD 4455.
• Business hours: Monday to Friday, approx. 9:00 am‑4:30 pm for the registry.
• Being a regional court, it facilitates access to higher‑level justice services without the need to travel to a metropolitan centre.

Why Early Legal Advice Matters

Given the serious nature of matters listed at a District Court:

• Legal processes are far more complex, with greater disclosure demands, longer hearings, trial preparation and significant consequences.
• Bail/remand strategy must be addressed promptly as involvement at this level often signals significant charges and an elevated custodial/mitsation risk.
• Regional logistics (travel, witness availability, local counsel) may impact how your matter is managed.
