Old Courthouse Complex

The Old Courthouse Complex is a heritage-listed cluster of charming buildings, some of which date back to the 1860s.

The Busselton Cultural Precinct presents a rich tapestry of history, art and culture. Wander through the charming heritage-listed buildings to learn fascinating regional history and admire local art.

Immerse yourself in the harrowing tale of the S.S Georgette shipwreck as you take in the fascinating exhibition in The Courtroom, before heading to the Old Busselton Gaol to learn about the misdemeanours and lived experiences of notorious prisoners and other locals from a bygone era in the audio-visual display in the gaol cells.

Explore the cold, dark gaol cells and imagine being locked up behind one of the heavy wooden doors.

In 1976, WA Police relocated from the complex to new premises and the transformation from law enforcement headquarters to art hub began.

Now the Old Courthouse Complex presents regular art exhibitions and houses a Gallery Store showcasing the work of around 50 celebrated regional artisans who work in a myriad of mediums.

Browse the Gallery Store’s stunning range of quality local art, jewellery, pottery, glasswork, cards, photography, paintings and woodwork.
