Cobham Children’s Court was built at Werrington Park in 1978. It was one of the specialised children’s court houses in New South Wales. It closed in 2006.
In many instances, especially in the case of smaller Courts, the depositions of proceedings in Children’s Courts are interfiled with the adult depositions. There are, however, several designated Children’s Courts in New South Wales: Bidura Children’s Court at Glebe (in Sydney’s inner west); Cobham Children’s Court at Werrington (in Sydney’s far west); Worimi Children’s Court at Broadmeadow (Newcastle); Minda Children’s Court at Lidcombe (in Sydney’s west); Campsie Children’s Court at Campsie (in Sydney’s south west); and Yasmar Children’s Court at Haberfield (in Sydney’s inner west).
Court records are held by the State Records Authority of New South Wales. In 2014 there were no records listed in the Concise Guide to the State Archives relating to this organisation. Since the Guide was last updated it is possible that additional records have been deposited with the State Records Authority of New South Wales. In addition, records are still held by the Courts themselves. As all requests for information must be directed through the Clerk of the relevant Court, current information about holdings will be available from the Court.
