History
The construction of the mosque was completed in 2010, controlled by trustees and administered by Cairns Imam, Managing Trustee, Abdul Aziz Mohammed. The Cairns Muslim community is almost 100 years old but still very small, around 200 ~ 250 people. The community comprises of more than 11 different nationalities.
Urban and Architectural
The mosque is composed of two main buildings juxtaposed together. The building looks more like a house inspired by tropical architecture of the region.
Description
The mosque is one of the few located in Northern Queensland. Cairns is a city in Queensland, Australia, on the tropical north east coast of Far North Queensland. The city was founded in 1875 and named after Sir William Wellington Cairns, the Governor of Queensland from 1875 to 1877.
