Roma Supreme Court

The Roma Supreme Court, acts as the regional registry for the Supreme Court of Queensland’s Western and Southern‑Western districts, including Roma, Charleville and Cunnamulla.

Role & Jurisdiction

As part of the Supreme Court of Queensland, the court handles:

• Very serious criminal matters including indictable offences that require jury trial or judge‑alone trial at the highest state level — e.g., murder, manslaughter, major drug conspiracies, large‑scale weapon offences.
• High‑value and complex civil litigation which exceed the jurisdiction of the District Court, involving significant awards or legal complexity.
• Pre‑trial hearings, sentencing of serious offenders, appeals and other major procedural steps for matters within its jurisdiction.

Location and Access

• Address: 141 McDowall Street, Roma QLD 4455.
• Business Hours: Generally Monday to Friday during standard registry hours (9:00 am–4:30 pm) for enquiries.
• As a regional Supreme Court registrary, this venue provides local access to high‑level justice for Western Queensland.

What to Consider if Your Matter is Listed Here

• Because matters heard in the Supreme Court are of the most serious nature, early specialist legal advice is crucial — from bail/remand strategy, pre‑trial preparation, evidence management, to sentencing advocacy.
• Regional logistics may require travel, availability of witnesses, coordination of expert evidence — and understanding of the regional court culture and practices is beneficial.
• The listing may also influence ongoing custodial classification, long‑term outcomes, and parole pathways.
