Statement of Significance
REVISED STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE, CONTEXT, 2010
What is significant?
The c1868 church building and the surrounding site to the title boundaries.
How is it significant?
The church is historically, socially and spiritually significant to the Shire of Nillumbik.
Why is it significant?
The church is historically significant because it may have given its name 'St Andrews' to the town (another suggestion is that the name came from the local hotel - HO19), it is also historically significant as one of only four buildings that remain from the Caledonian goldfields era of Queenstown (now St Andrews) and one of only a handful of buildings that survived the 1960s bushfires (Criteria A & B). The church is historically, socially and spiritually significant because it has played an important part in community life for more than 120 years; a proposal to move the church in 1984 met with strenuous opposition (Criterion G).
