The decision to build the Swan Valley Mosque and Islamic Centre was born out of the desperate need of all Muslims in
Western Australia to have additional facilities where Muslims can perform all their religious duties and satisfy all their
religious needs.Â
In 2007, Archetype Design Studio was commissioned by the Bosnian Islamic Society of Western Australia (BIS) to design a Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre for the Bosnian Islamic Community in the Swan Valley. The complex includes a 350-person prayer hall, ablutions, library, multifunction hall with kitchen, administrative office, Imam’s apartment, short-term housing for three families, and manicured gardens. Its building cost is expected to be around $6 million. This facility’s design needed an understanding of Islamic religion and traditions, as well as the religious diversity of Bosnian peoples.
