Condition

Good The origins of this church are with the Methodist church which was established in Carmel in c1900. In 1918, the community moved to a new church in Kalamunda and in 1977 the community joined with the Congregational and Baptist churches to form the Uniting Church of Australia. This church was built in 1990 to a design by architect Bruce Marshall and constructed by Gillard Builders. The funds needed for the construction were raised by the community. In the same year a memorial garden was established. The church continues to be well attended [2013].
