History and Architecture:

The Church was designed by Mockridge, Stahle, and Mitchell and built between 1957 and 1958.

 Two proposals for a larger church building were submitted by established church architects Louis Williams in 1941 and Wystan Widdows in 1953. The latter design was accepted by the church, however it was subsequently rejected in favour of the contemporary and radical design by Mockridge Stahle and Mitchell. This radical design was initially rejected by the Diocese.

A Foundation stone reads, " This stone was laid by the Right Reverend John McKie M.A. Administrator of the Diocese of Melbourne 7th December 1957 AD - Vicar Reverend Gordon Brown B.A. Architects Mockridge, Stahle, Mitchell".
