Sandgate Magistrates Court

Sandgate Magistrates Court operates as part of the Queensland Magistrates Court system and serves the Sandgate division — covering parts of northern Brisbane (Bracken Ridge, Deagon etc). The court manages:

• Criminal matters of the summary jurisdiction (traffic, regulatory offences) and initial hearings for more serious matters.
• Bail, remand and initial arrest court appearances.
• Domestic & family violence call‑overs (Tuesday listings).
• Civil enforcement and miscellaneous regulatory hearings (Thursday civil enforcement list).

Listing Schedule & Regional Considerations

The official 2025 listing arrangements indicate:

• General callovers for arrests/remands/notices to appear/traffic are scheduled Mondays & Thursdays at 9:00 am.
• Domestic violence call‑over is Tuesday at 9:00 am.
  As a regional Magistrates Court, attending Sandgate may involve:
• Arriving early (9 am call‑over) and being ready with documentation.
• Paying attention to specific local listing days (e.g., Tuesday for DV applications).
• Understanding that more serious indictable matters may be moved to higher courts, so early legal strategy is important.
