Statement of Significance

St Patrick's Catholic Church, designed by Charles Hanson and built in 1856 - 1860 (nave) and 1871 (chancel), is one of Victoria's oldest substantial churches. The design arrangement, comprising unbroken roofed main body without clerestory and sides aisles is quite rare in Victoria. . It is an example of Catholic churches built in the gothic style during the 1850s reflecting contemporary design practice in England. The scale and design of the church also reflects the importance place upon religious life amongst the widely dispersed communities of the Victorian goldfields since St Patrick's served the immense direct of the Kilmore parish bounded by Castlemaine, Woods Point and Echuca.

The particularly fine main altar of Caen stone was made by Farmer and company of Westminster, London, to the designs of William Wardell, and erected in 1873. The bell, tower and iron palisade fence contribute to the grandeur of the church's design and setting.

      ST PATRICKS CHURCH - Permit Exemptions

      General Exemptions:

      General exemptions apply to all places and objects included in the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR). General exemptions have been designed to allow everyday activities, maintenance and changes to your property, which don’t harm its cultural heritage significance, to proceed without the need to obtain approvals under the Heritage Act 2017.

      Places of worship: In some circumstances, you can alter a place of worship to accommodate religious practices without a permit, but you must notify the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria before you start the works or activities at least 20 business days before the works or activities are to commence.

      Subdivision/consolidation: Permit exemptions exist for some subdivisions and consolidations. If the subdivision or consolidation is in accordance with a planning permit granted under Part 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and the application for the planning permit was referred to the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria as a determining referral authority, a permit is not required.

      Specific exemptions may also apply to your registered place or object. If applicable, these are listed below. Specific exemptions are tailored to the conservation and management needs of an individual registered place or object and set out works and activities that are exempt from the requirements of a permit. Specific exemptions prevail if they conflict with general exemptions.
