The District Courts can hear civil claims up to $200,000 ($500,000 if recovery of land is claimed) and most criminal cases.

The establishment of the District Courts was the result of the recommendations made in the 1978 Royal Commission on the Courts. report. District Courts were given an expanded jurisdiction and the Family Court was created as a division of the District Court in 1981.
