Courthouses get safety upgrades across the Hunter
July 19, 2021
Safe rooms and remote witness rooms will be upgraded at Belmont, Cessnock, Maitland, Newcastle and Toronto courthouses.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Taylor Martin said the projects form part of a $9 million COVID-19 Commonwealth stimulus funding package.
“The upgrades to our local courthouses will help vulnerable people feel safer when coming to court and give witnesses a better private and secure area to prepare for court and to give their best evidence,” Taylor Martin said.
Attorney General and Minister for Prevention of Domestic and Sexual Violence Mark Speakman said witnesses have commonly been through serious trauma and coming to court can be very stressful.
