On 10 August 2024, I had the privilege of visiting the Bonnyrigg Mosque. During this visit, I had the honour of presenting Community Recognition Statements to Mr. Muhammet Eris, Mr. Adem Cetinay and Mr. Bahtisen Gunacti. Their dedication and contributions to the mosque's development are deeply appreciated, and it was a pleasure to acknowledge their efforts formally. I also had the opportunity to congratulate their Association the Bonnyrigg Turkish Islamic Cultural Association for their successful application of the Community Building Partnership grant. I understand that this grant will support the calligraphy writing, inscription, and decoration of the mosque's dome, walls, and other decorative elements, enhancing the mosque's architectural and cultural significance. The Mosque construction began in 1992 on land leased by the NSW State Government to the Bonnyrigg Turkish Islamic Cultural Association. It stands as a testament to the rich cultural and religious heritage of the community. I look forward to witnessing the final work, which promises to be a beautiful blend of art, history, and religion, reflecting the Mosque's significance in our diverse community.
