Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke and Attorney General Mark Speakman announced last week the $220,000 spruce up of the courthouse would include painting of the facade and front fence, landscaping and roof and chimney repairs.
"Cootamundra Courthouse has been an important town landmark for generations and it's wonderful to see the NSW Government investing in the preservation of this charming building," Ms Cooke said.
"The improvements are being led by Dice Contracting, an Indigenous owned and operated company, so this work is supporting jobs for local First Nations people."
More than 400 criminal matters are heard in Cootamundra each year. Court sittings are held 3-4 times a month, while the registry operates five days a week.
The building was designed by Walter Liberty Vernon.
