Renewal process update – April 2026
As many in our diocesan community will know, the Anglican Diocese of North Queensland is currently undertaking a court-supervised renewal process. This process is intended to help us meet our obligations, restore financial stability, and support a sustainable future for ministry across the region.
The Diocese is working closely with SV Partners during this period of renewal. While this is a difficult time, this structured process provides a clear path forward as we meet our responsibilities and seek to protect the ongoing life and ministry of the Church in North Queensland.
As part of this process, careful consideration will be given to how the Diocese’s assets are managed, including the potential sale of selected properties. We have been blessed with property resources that, in some cases, are greater than we can realistically maintain or use. This creates an opportunity to reflect responsibly on how these assets may help us meet our obligations, while also supporting the future of ministry across the Diocese.
In the months ahead, Bishop Keith will lead conversations about how we steward the resources entrusted to us. We know that any discussion about the possible sale of churches and rectories will be deeply felt. These places carry generations of prayer, fellowship and shared history, and their significance is not lost on us.
Even so, we move forward in faith and hope. The Church is not defined by buildings alone, but by its people, its faith, and its shared mission. Those foundations remain, and they will continue to guide us in the months and years ahead.
