Adjusted practice at court security screening points Queensland Courts have adjusted practices at court security screening sites to ensure security objectives are met and to improve efficiency and consistency across sites. From Monday 11 August 2025, court attendees will no longer be permitted to store items with courthouse security. If you attend court with an item that is considered a security risk in the courthouse environment, you will be directed to take one of the following actions before being granted access into the building: Voluntarily dispose of the item in the allocated bin provided. Make alternative personal arrangements for storage of the item. Possession of prohibited items such as firearms, knives or other weapons will result in police attendance.
