Announcement
The Liverpool Australia Temple was announced by President Russell M. Nelson during the April 2025 General Conference on April 6, 2025. It will become the seventh temple announced for Australia and the second temple in Greater Sydney, joining the Sydney Australia Temple. At the time of the announcement, Australia was home to nearly 160,000 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in around 300 congregations. The announcement reflects the continued growth of the Church throughout Australia, particularly in the Sydney metropolitan area.
Current Status
The Liverpool Australia Temple is currently in the planning and approval phase. At this time, no official temple site has been announced, no exterior rendering has been released, and no groundbreaking date has been scheduled. Church leaders continue working through the early planning process before additional details are made public.
What to Watch for Next
The next major milestones will be the announcement of the temple site, followed by the release of the official exterior rendering. After those announcements, the Church will schedule a groundbreaking ceremony before construction begins. Once construction is complete, the Church will announce dates for the public open house and temple dedication.
Nearest Operating Temple
Until the Liverpool Australia Temple is completed, members in southwestern Sydney primarily attend the Sydney Australia Temple, which was dedicated in 1984. The new temple will make temple worship more convenient for members living in the rapidly growing Liverpool, Fairfield, Macarthur, and surrounding areas of Greater Sydney, significantly reducing travel times for many families.
Final Thoughts
The Liverpool Australia Temple represents another important milestone in the continued growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Australia. As the second temple serving the Sydney metropolitan area, it will bring temple blessings closer to thousands of faithful members throughout southwestern Sydney. Although the project is still in its earliest planning stages, its announcement demonstrates the Church's ongoing commitment to making temple worship more accessible across Australia and around the world.
