Low, mid & high range — the most common charge in Richlands court. Mandatory disqualification applies; preparation decides its length.
Relevant drug present or driving under the influence — two different charges with very different stakes.
Keep driving for your job after a drink or drug driving conviction — must be applied for before sentence.
Keep driving through a points or high-speed suspension — strict 21-day window to apply.
Serious charges where jail is on the table — run properly from day one, in the Magistrates or District Court.
If you’ve been charged and have to go to court, read us your Notice to Appear over the phone and we’ll tell you exactly what it means and how we can help. Free.
Drink and drug driving are the most common, then unlicensed and disqualified driving, dangerous driving and evading police. Each carries its own mandatory minimums — and its own room to move.
A work licence (for drink/drug driving under 0.15) or a special hardship order (for a points or high-speed suspension) can keep you driving — but both have hard deadlines and must be applied for the right way.
Getting a lawyer doesn’t make you look guilty — magistrates expect it. A conviction isn’t automatic. And the free duty lawyer generally isn’t available for traffic matters.

This is everything people ask us about a day at Richlands court. If we act for you, you won’t need to remember any of it — we brief you the day before and meet you at the door.
Bundaberg Magistrates Court is at 44 Quay Street, in central Bundaberg near the Burnett River — the main court for the Wide Bay–Burnett region, about 385km north of Brisbane. Your Notice to Appear names the court and your date.
There is free and metered street parking around Quay Street, Bourbong Street and the Bundaberg CBD — it fills up on busy mornings, so allow extra time. If you’d rather, meet us at our Hervey Bay office first and we’ll travel to court together. Allow time either way.
Most matters are listed at 8:30 or 9:00am. Arrive by 8:30am — the security queue takes time, and you need to find your courtroom before the magistrate sits.
Bundaberg Magistrates Court sits Monday to Friday, with a shorter list on Thursday. Your listing day is printed on your Notice to Appear — we confirm it when we take your matter on.
Knowing what the building looks like takes half the nerves out of the morning — here’s the walk in, from the street to the courtroom.

You’re not required to have one — but for any charge carrying a disqualification, representation makes a real difference. And the court’s duty lawyer generally cannot act for drink driving and most traffic matters, so there’s no free fallback on the day.
