Is the linkage of young male and female TAFE students close by a group of such courts, sometimes involved with the trial of potential criminals, a "good mix"?

An alternative site for a law courts building is therefore strongly recommended  –  ie the construction of a modern complementary, multi-story building complex immediately north of Bendigo's police station in High St. This would replace a sizable section of High Streets “car city” with an exciting new building complex – including further north, a multi-story car park to service the proposed law courts and adjoining police station.
