The place is a good example of a simply designed, competently constructed church in the Federation Gothic style. The place demonstrates creativity in design through the restrained application of a range of Gothic revival and arts and crafts devices, including the auditory plan, the Gothic revival proportions and the use of decorative motifs;
While there are other churches in Western Australia of similar age, scale and construction materials, there are no direct comparisons with Church of the Good Shepherd in terms of its architectural detailing;
The place is associated with pastoralist, explorer and politician, Edward Robinson who donated the land and made significant contributions toward the construction of the church and with his wife, Sophia, in whose memory the Church was built;
The place is representative of the establishment of churches in newly subdivided areas such as Bellevue on the outskirts of Midland Junction in the early 1900s; and
The place is highly valued by the Anglican community of Bellevue for its continued role as a place of worship from 1909 to 1999, which has contributed to the community’s sense of place.
The toilet block to the south of the church and the parish centre west of the church are considered to have low significance.
A single-storey brick building with a custom orb Colourbond roof in the Federation Gothic style. Church of the Good Shepherd is a small, simply designed building, with a use of embellishments such as rendered moldings in the external walls and the timber tracery inserts to the window.
Built for the Anglican church by Edward Robinson after his wife's death in 1909 as a memorial to her. In 2000, the place ceased operating as an Anglican Church.
The church currently operates as the non-denominational Swan Christian Fellowship.
