St. Paul's Anglican Church and Hall, is of local historic, social and aesthetic significance to the South Gippsland Shire.

Historically, St. Paul's is associated with the growth of Korumburra during the early twentieth century, which resulted in the need for a larger church to serve the congregation. The associated church hall demonstrates the status of St Paul's as the parish centre and the size of the congregation in the Postwar era. (Criterion A) 
Aesthetically, St Paul's is a fine and well-detailed example of an Interwar Arts & Crafts Gothic church with typical features such as the buttressed walls and label moulds to lancet windows. Notable features include the central windows with tracery including the large rose window, while the simply detailed interior is enhanced by stained glass memorial windows, tuck pointed brickwork and timber trusses. Situated on a prominent corner, the church and tower are a landmark within Korumburra. (Criterion E) 
St Paul's has social value for its strong and enduring associations with the local community through its use as a church and parish centre, which has been a focal point of the local Anglican congregation for almost 100 years. (Criterion G)
