The Coburg Islamic Centre has been a site of active service to the community for almost 50 years. Established in 1970, our facilities are ageing with high cost of maintenance and little scope for effective renovations to bring the Centre up to standard for use as a contemporary Masjid. Key issues include structural problems with the dome, incorrect Qibla direction, worn down general appearance, and impractical functioning of general spaces, in particular the sister’s prayer area.
InshaAllah it is time to rebuild the Centre. Located in multicultural Coburg, the CIC is one of the few inner-city Masjids in Melbourne and as such the rebuild is an opportunity to present a visible symbol of a vibrant, open and inclusive Islam to contemporary Australia.
