Chapel marks centenary

It is now a year on from the engineering project that replaced the piers under our 100-year-old church with adjustable galvanised piers set in concrete footings. Our thanks to everyone who helped fund stage one of the preservation of the community’s much-loved heritage building

Chapel marks centenary

By Roselin Fisher, of Austinmer Uniting Church

It is now a year on from the engineering project that replaced the piers under our 100-year-old church with adjustable galvanised piers set in concrete footings. Our thanks to everyone who helped fund stage one of the preservation of the community’s much-loved heritage building.

Austinmer Uniting Church extends the use of our Chapel and annex to the community for events, exhibitions, workshops and concerts.

On Sunday, 16 April, we will be celebrating the centenary of the building and all are welcome. Anyone with photos and newspaper clippings is invited to display their memorabilia and share experiences as we enjoy afternoon tea together.


Austinmer’s Village Chapel is at 48 Moore St, disabled access via Moore Lane. The Centenary Celebration starts at 9.30am, with a talk by Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery and entertainment by soprano Louise Lavilles. Morning tea provided.
