Statement of Significance

Pakenham Upper church is significant to the Cardinia Shire as a major and early public building with high integrity to its construction date. It is a reflection of the lives of locally important people (Copeland, Ramage, Clink, Matters) and rare as an early timber church which has survived in a forested area often overrun with fires. Its use as a hall/church for many denominations and local school is also indicative of the role of the first public buildings in the Shire. The church contributes to a local public building precinct and has local landmark qualities.
