The site of Narrabri Courthouse has been associated with the provision of law and justice in the town since 1865, when the first courthouse in Narrabri was constructed. The site is significant for its ability to demonstrate the evolution of courts in Narrabri, with both courthouses remaining intact side-by-side on a single site in the town. Both buildings are good examples of courthouses designed Colonial Architect James Barnet.
