According to the NSW Government's Office of Environment & Heritage (visit link) the "Walgett Courthouse is a modest example of the Victorian Regency style and a good example of courthouses designed by Colonial Architect James Barnet. The courthouse is a landmark building in Walgett. The courthouse has been associated with the provision of law and justice in the town and broader region since 1880".
