The Fitzroy Gardens are an important remnant of the city's nineteenth-century garden heritage. Of historical significance as one of a ring of public reserves around Melbourne established in the nineteenth century to provide respite and relaxation for the city's residents.
Vital to the natural health of the gardens is this feature of the park. In recent years severe drought has compromised this feature. The City is currently constructing an extensive water management structure intended to trap, save, retain conserve and recycle water.
The church building is 103.6 meters in length.
