AUSTRALIA'S first County Koori court will be established in Victoria.
The court, in the Latrobe Valley, will run as a four-year pilot, providing an alternative sentencing process for Aboriginal offenders.
Deputy Premier and Attorney-General Rob Hulls said it would be the first time in Australia a Koori court would operate in a higher jurisdiction, and built on the success of models in the lower magistrates and children's courts.
