Description

Percy Everett designed the current building in 1945 after the original building burnt down. The interior was redesigned for the Neighbourhood Justice Centre (NJC) in 2006 by Lyons Architects, creating a welcoming community space reflecting the centre’s therapeutic and restorative justice principles. The NJC is Australia’s first community justice centre, designed to meet the needs of the Yarra community and offer a positive experience of the justice system. It has support services for a range of different needs, a community court, and community meeting space, all in one location.
