Building together in Warragul
A welcoming, inclusive space for all
Our vision is bigger than a mosque. We aim to build a true community hub—a place where everyone feels welcome.
Through open days, school visits, interfaith forums, charity drives, and youth initiatives, we strengthen unity and understanding across Baw Baw Shire.
With appreciation for the support of:
Proud to call Warragul Home
The Warragul Mosque Open Day was more than just an event; it was a vibrant celebration of unity. We were humbled to welcome over 1,000 neighbours who braved the weather to share smiles, conversations, and genuine connection. Since then, the continued warmth and support from the Baw Baw Shire and the wider community have only grown. We are truly honoured to be part of such a welcoming town and look forward to growing together, side by side.

Social views & engagement
Warragul and Baw Baw Shire are home to a rapidly growing Muslim population, yet the community lacks a permanent home.
No mosque within 45km
Families travel far for daily and Friday prayers
No dedicated space for Islamic classes or youth programs
Community has outgrown temporary prayer spaces
Schools and community groups seek cultural and interfaith engagement
192 Muslims were recorded in the 2021 Census - and many more have since moved. A mosque brings stability, spiritual growth, and belonging.
Help us secure the first-ever mosque in Baw Baw Shire
We have an urgent window to purchase our permanent home. The community raised $0. You can close the remaining gap and build a living hub for prayer, learning, and unity.

Recurring base toward stability.
A Void in the Heart of Victoria
For years, our growing community has prayed in rented halls and living rooms. We travel over an hour to Morwell or Cranbourne just to find a spiritual home. The Baw Baw Shire is growing, and so are we.
It is time to put down roots.
45km radius with no mosque
We are the only opportunity to serve Baw Baw Shire locally.
Centrally placed
Walking distance to Warragul Station and the CBD.
The Opportunity
We found the Needle in the Haystack
Finding a permanent home is hard. Finding one that meets every single community requirement is a miracle. We currently lease this historic site, but the window to buy is closing. If we act now, we secure a legacy for generations.
Why this site is perfect
Zoning Approved
Officially designated as a Place of Worship.
Immediate Capacity
Ready to host 350+ worshippers today.
Central Location
Walking distance to Warragul CBD & Train Station.
Future Proof
Ample parking and room to host community events.
Our goal for a permanent home
The Muslim community in Baw Baw Shire is growing with no local mosque within 45km. This purchase secures a home for generations - prayer, education, youth leadership, and community service.
