Physical Description

The place is a landmark located on top of a hill/sand dune, and is a fine example of Late Twentieth Century Organic style architecture, featuring sweeping curved brick walls and an overall irregular curved floor plan. The main volume of the church has been enclosed by a curved vertical wall of increasing height. This wall is constructed of salmon bricks. The curved roof is concealed by an apex parapet wall on the western side. There is a curved panelled eaves soffit to the north with a clear aluminium framed clerestory ribbon window.
The place has high quality interior spaces, and finely designed sanctuary fittings and furnishings, including timber pews, off-form altar, seats, side altars, and baptismal font, and also includes a number of finely designed artworks.
