The beach-side Sydney suburb of Manly is about 11 miles northeast of Sydney CBD and is home to nearly 16,000 residents. Named for the “manly behaviour” attributed to the indigenous people encountered by Captain Arthur Phillip, Manly is home to many heritage-listed sites and was once one of the most popular seaside resorts in Australia.
You won’t have much time to enjoy the beach if you’ve been called to Manly Local Court, but if you instruct our Manly criminal lawyers, we’ll make sure the process is as smooth and hassle-free as possible.
Manly Local Court is on Belgrave Street. It is open from Monday to Friday and there are plenty of motorcycle, bike, and car parking spaces nearby. The Whistler Street Car Park is nearby and includes over 300 spaces. The car park is open 7 days a week, with 24-hour access on Friday and Saturday. The hours are limited from Monday to Thursday though, so check in advance. Manly Local Court is also accessible via several local bus routes.

Dress appropriately when you attend court. You don’t need to wear a suit but should refrain from wearing a band-tee and ripped jeans. Your demeanour should match your attire—professional, polite, and respectful. It’s okay to take your phone with you inside the courthouse, but don’t shoot videos or take pictures when you’re inside and turn it off in the courtroom.
If you have any questions, speak to your lawyer. You can also visit the going to court page on the NSW Local Court website.
