The Ministry of Justice has commenced preparatory work for a new Stony Hill courthouse.
It will be situated at the St. Andrew Justice Centre.
Speaking with JIS at the site on Thursday, Infrastructure and Property Services Manager at the Justice Ministry Major Marlon Stephens said the demolition of old buildings on the property and preparation for the new multi-million dollar complex will involve the Jamaica Defence Force Engineering Unit.
Major Stephens added that the area needs services that are provided by the Justice Centre, as well as court services, and it will enable the residents to benefit from child diversion services, mediation as well as restorative justice.
He pointed out that the Ministry is on a drive to have at least one Justice Centre in each parish.
