A new community centre has been constructed between 2016 and 2020 to cater for the Muslim population and the wider community. The new centre contains a canteen, auditorium, cultural centre, fitness centre, dawah centre, multi-purpose sports stadium, a venue for events such as weddings.
The mosque of the Islamic Society of Gold Coast is topped with a green distinctive dome. The dome is 7.8 meters in diameter topped with a crescent moon, mimicking the visual attributes of the Masjid al Nabawi in Medina, which is located at the burial site of the prophet Mohammad.
The mosque is a two-story building, rendered in white and surrounded with a columnated archways at the front and the rear of the building. The male prayer hall is 269 square metres in area with a mezzanine level. A separate adjoining room caters for female worshippers.
The mosque’s plan can be divided into two sections. The first encompasses the prayer areas, topped with dome and surrounded by four minarets at its corners. The second is a longer element with the same width, topped with a green gabled roof containing the ancillary spaces of the mosque.
In the internal spaces of the mosque, a chandelier hangs from the middle of the dome. The prayer hall contains a double-height arched Mihrab directing the worshippers towards the Qibla.
