Mother of Good Counsel

Mother of Good Counsel is a heritage-listed Catholic Church in Innisfail, Far North Queensland.

Completed in 1928 (following the previous church’s destruction in a massive cyclone) the church was again damaged in 2006 by Cyclone Larry, prompting this refurbishment.

Steve Gleeson Architect conceptualised a lighting scheme using aimed uplighting from wall brackets (replicas of the existing ones ‘bush engineered’ form water-pipe and flat-iron) to accent structural elements and reflect light off the high raked ceiling.
