History and Architecture:
The church is designed in a simple modern style and is built of cream brick with a glazed tile roof. It is of rectangular form with distinctive parabolic arch entrance to the gabled front porch and a rectangular tower with slender spire to the north elevation. The asymmetrical front facade contains the entrance porch which protrudes to one side and a high gabled elevation on the other. The latter incorporates a low horizontal strip of windows which is
divided by heavy vertical mullions, and a large blank upper facade with a large applied cross.
The foundation stone of St Augustine’s Hall was laid in April 1929 was designed by Architects Gawler and Drummond in 1929 and built by J. Jones. This prolific Melbourne firm Gawler and Drummond designed a substantial body of work for the Church of England from the mid-1910s and John Stevens Gawler himself was a local resident, parishioner, local councillor and educationalist.’
