The Katanning Mosque is a mosque in Katanning, Western Australia.

History

[edit]

The mosque was opened in 1980 after it was built by the local Islamic community who arrived in Katanning in 1974 from Christmas Island and Cocos Islands.[1][2] In 1981 it was visited and formally opened by former Prime Minister of Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman.[3][4][5][6] The community and mosque have had interest at different times from Australian media, for understanding of how the community feels about being in an Australian country town.[7]

Architecture

[edit]

The mosque was constructed with orange bricks and silver minarets.[1]
