Statement of Significance

St Mark's Anglican Church is one of the earliest surviving permanent churches in Gippsland. It was built between 1866 and 1867 by a well-known local builder William Allen. There is a possibility that Leonard Terry, a prominent Melbourne architect, was influential in the design. He was diocesan architect at the time.

The Romanesque detailing of the building is most unusual. Its general form and plan are typical of country churches. Of particular interest are the memorials to the King family, who were local pioneers and were related to Governor King, and three stained glass windows to the memory of Margaret the wife of Poa Nine, a Chinese baker. Further historical importance stems from the church's incumbents. The first, George McCartney, a priest and barrister, resigned to become MLA for South Gippsland. Two others became Bishop of Bendigo and Bishop of Wangaratta.

      Permit Exemptions

      ST MARKS ANGLICAN 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.
