Mission to Seamen is located on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nations.

The heritage-listed Mission to Seamen building (constructed 1916-19) in Melbourne’s Docklands is home of the Anglican organisation the Mission to Seafarers. It is something of a head turner, with its interesting massing, belfry, Spanish Mission details and curious Norla Gymnasium concrete dome. In 2018, we investigated the fabric and made recommendations for prioritised works.

Conservation works to the exterior and parts of the interior were completed in 2020. The works included extensive render repairs, structural works to the base of the bell tower, waterproof membrane replacement to the balcony and dome, re-stumping, main hall floor replacement, door hardware replacement for compliance, leadlight repair and anti-graffiti treatment to the dome and lower exterior walls.
