Statement of Significance
The mosque has historic, cultural and social significance. It is used as a place of worship by the local Muslim community, consisting currently of about 13 families. The community is made up of Arabs, Albanians and Malays. There is no resident Imam in Newman, so the leadership function is shared by members of the community. The mosque reflects the cultural diversity to be found in Newman.
Physical Description
The mosque is a an octagonal (to be verified), two storey building, constructed of metal Trimdeck. It is accessed by means of external stairs. It was formerly the common room for the original single men's quarters, and it was moved to its current location in the late 1980s. The mosque is used daily by some Muslim people, and is open on Fridays for the special prayers sessions held then.
