The Hobart Mosque is a mosque in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The mosque was established in 1985 as the first mosque in Tasmania. The Muslim community in Tasmania is estimated to be about 900 strong, with 600 living in Hobart. The first Mosque in Hobart was established in a house on Proctors Road, in 1973. Later, in the same decade, it moved to another house in Fitzroy Place.
The present Mosque, in this late-Victorian house which was built near the end of the nineteenth century, has been there since 1985. In its day, the large house, which once bore the name of Roseneath, has been a private school and also a nursing, as well as a private, home. One of the longest occupations was that of Samuel T. Burleigh who took up residence during the First World War in 1917, and stayed there until he moved to a house in Sandy Bay Road, in 193 The mosque has a new modern extension at the rear that has a capacity of 300 worshipers.
