Yirranma Place acknowledges that we work, live and play on the stolen land of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation, who are the traditional custodians of Darlinghurst. Yirranma pays respect to the elders past, present and future of the Eora Nation and extends that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait people.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
In 2010 the church was sold to venture capitalist Mark Carnegie and converted into a private residence. Gatherings remained popular at the site during Carnegie’s tenure there, ranging from lavish, Gatsby-themed parties to exclusive book club meetings where classic works were discussed by various well-known figures, from American feminist Gloria Steinem to NSW Crown Prosecutor Mark Tedeschi. Today the premises are known as Yirranma Place, which means ‘a place where many create’, signalling the hope that it will continue to bring people together. The new offices are envisaged as forming a new community hub and philanthropic precinct for the city.
