The single-storey stone and concrete chapel was listed of the permanent register of heritage places by the Heritage Council of Western Australia on 17 December 2010.[1][2]

The Chapel was one of the first Catholic buildings constructed in Western Australia in response to the impact of liturgical changes arising from the Second Vatican Council, with the Chapel's form and plan implementing the Council’s theological emphases on inclusiveness in worship.[2] Completed in the Late Twentieth Century Organic architectural style, the Chapel features innovative use of traditional materials and a curved form and design to complement its natural setting. Materials included the rare use of red Template:WAcity stone, which had a limited distribution and is no longer quarried.[2]
