The College was originally a joint initiative of the Anglican Church of Australia and the Uniting Church in Australia.

Until 2008, it was operated by EDUCANG Limited along with Forest Lake College, Mary McConnel School, The FLC International Centre, and The Springfield College.

In 2008, sole ownership of The Lakes College (TLC) was assumed by the Uniting Church in Australia.
