High Court of Australia

The High Court of Australia in Parkes, Canberra, is the nation's highest court and final court of appeal, located on the southern shore of Lake Burley Griffin in the Parliamentary Triangle. Opened in 1980 and heritage-listed, the Brutalist building designed by Christopher Kringas and Colin Madigan is notable for its dramatic concrete and glass design, expansive Public Hall, three courtrooms, and role in interpreting the Australian Constitution.
