Statement of Significance

St Andrews Uniting Church and its associated church hall are of local historical significance as a key nineteenth century church complex in Queenscliff with a long association with the Methodist Church. The Church is of architectural significance at a regional level. It is typical in general appearance of many parish churches built in this era; not having advanced stylistically since the Methodist Church was constructed in Queenscliff ten years previously. However, the sexagonal plan-shapes do reflect the contemporary revival in church building of Byzantine elements and these shapes are well expressed in the elevation.

St Andrews is of local historical significance as the Uniting Church of the community for over one hundred years. It is of social significance to Queenscliffe as a church that is known, used and valued by the local community. The church hall is historically significant as a later addition to the church complex, sympathetically designed and sited to the rear of the church.
