## History

The mosque was opened in 1980 after it was built by the local Islamic community who arrived in Katanning in 1974 from Christmas Island and Cocos Islands. In 1981 it was visited and formally opened by former Prime Minister of Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman. The community and mosque have had interest at different times from Australian media, for understanding of how the community feels about being in an Australian country town.
