History and Architecture:
It was designed by John Hingeston Buckeridge and built from 1900 to 1958.
It is a timber church constructed to the design of Anglican Church architect John H Buckeridge in 1900 is the second church to be built on the site.
Initial tenders submitted for Buckeridge's design for Christ Church were considered too high and the plans were modified in December 1899 to meet the budget. Local builder, Mr Irwin signed a contract for £540 which included a price for the pews which were also designed by Buckeridge. The building was constructed during 1900 and the work was supervised by Bundaberg architect, Frederic Herbert Faircloth.
