Understanding Peace and Good Behaviour Orders

Peace and Good Behaviour Orders are designed to protect individuals from threats, or threatening behaviour that causes fear for personal safety or property. These orders act as a legal safeguard and ensure that individuals have recourse to address escalating or harmful behaviours in a structured and enforceable manner.

These orders provide a crucial mechanism for preventing ongoing conflicts or potential harm, particularly in situations where formal intervention is the only viable option to maintain peace. To secure a Peace and Good Behaviour Order, individuals must follow specific legal steps outlined in Queensland law:

  • Filing a Complaint: The process begins by submitting a formal complaint at your local Magistrates Court, detailing the behaviour causing concern.
  • Providing Evidence: Applicants must present clear evidence, such as written communications, police reports, or witness statements, to support their claim.
  • Court Hearing: The court will then review the evidence and, if necessary, hold a hearing to determine whether the order should be granted.

Each step requires careful preparation and adherence to legal requirements to strengthen your application. The benefits of Peace and Good Behaviour Orders include:

  • Legal protection against harmful behaviours that compromise your personal safety.
  • Create enforceable boundaries to deter further harassment or threats.
  • Maintain peace and stability in personal or community settings.

Our Peace and Good Behaviour Solicitors in Southport and across Queensland guide you through the purpose and process of these orders, making it easier to understand and navigate.
