Phase 1:- The purchase of land for Bunbury Mosque (Masjid) and Community Centre



 

Since 2010, the association has been working closely with the Shire to secure land on which to build a mosque including a community centre) in the Bunbury area. In Sept 2013, Alhamdulillah, and by the grace and blessings of Almighty Allah SWT, following its pro-active and determined efforts, The Association is happy to inform that we have signed the papers officially to buy on a block of land in Picton (on Coleman Turn) for AUD 350,000. Unfortunately as at September 2013, we have only have around AUD 80,000 and we are still having a shortfall of AUD 270,000 which need to be raise before December 2013.

This facility will help to meet the current religious, social, cultural and educational and other ancillary needs of a growing Muslim community in this city. The mosque to be built will be the first mosque in Bunbury.

The propose property which is not far from Bunbury main town and only 20 minutes as per below route (according to Google Maps):-
  • Koombana Drive and Boyanup-Picton Rd (12.6 km, 16 mins)
  • Willinge Drive (13.3 km, 17 mins )
  • Boyanup-Picton Rd (12.4 km, 17 mins)
The reason this place was selected was because:-
  • The blocks mentioned above are very close to Bunbury and are situated in rural area so we have greater chances of success for Shire approval.
  • The cost is reasonable and we believe that it is achievable.
  • This block is extremely visual at the rear to Martin Pelusey Road, which will develop into the new Bunbury Outer Ring Road. 
  • The distance is not a major factor as we will be at the footstep of new Bunbury Outer Ring Road. It will reduce the travelling time significantly for our Muslim brothers living in Eaton, Australind and Glen Iris. 
  • The block is good sized and has the potential for future developments 
  • We should put in application for Bunbury Islamic Cultural and community centre and Mosque will be a part of it. Our planners can accommodate that request as it will be financially beneficial for us to have complete plan in one go.
