Statement of Significance
Non-original alterations are not significant.
Aesthetically, it is a fine example of a Carpenter Gothic church with typical form and detailing including the steep pitched roof, gabled porch, and lancet windows and doors. Of note are the tracery details to the windows. (Criterion E)
It has social value for its strong and enduring associations with the Uniting Church congregation through its use as a church and church hall for over 110 years. (Criterion G)

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The former Leongatha Presbyterian Church at 16 Peart Street, Leongatha (now located behind a postwar brick church) is a characteristic Victorian Carpenter Gothic church, although slightly larger than many of the remnant early churches of the region. It has a major steeply pitched nave gable, a smaller chancel/vestry gable at the rear and a small gabled porch with side doors at the front. It appears to have been relocated to make way for the new church at the front of the site, which was constructed in the postwar period, and it is now used as the church hall. Other notable elements include:
- Lancet windows with Gothic arched glazing bars.
- Gable end frames with recent finials added.
