Canberra church building plans and costs in 1953 era

Reports outline multiple church construction and improvement projects in Canberra for 1953. Catholic and Anglican buildings, presbyteries, and the Archbishop's residence are slated for funds and extensions, with totals approaching £400,000 and further £39,000 for presbytery work. Plans include a new Catholic church in the northern suburbs and a future congregation site, plus Methodist and Anglican expansions in Forrest Braddon and nearby areas. The aim is to elevate Canberra as a denominational center, with construction expected to begin within 13 months for some projects and late 1953 for others, funded by appeals and inter-state support.
