What matters are heard here
Most cases listed at Heidelberg are either summary matters or the early stages of something more serious. Among the kinds of matters dealt with are:
- Traffic offences, including drink and drug driving
- Less serious criminal charges heard summarily
- Intervention orders, both family violence and personal safety
- Bail hearings and requests to change bail conditions
- Committal hearings for charges destined for a higher court
- Civil disputes of a smaller value
Where a charge is too grave for the Magistrates' Court, it moves up to the County Court or the Supreme Court of Victoria for hearing or sentence.
