The BICC will be built in three stages.

Stages 1a and 1b will be the first and second floors of the multi-purpose building. This building includes two large rooms, ablutions (daily wash) facilities and a commercial kitchen.

The multi-purpose building will be used for activities such as meetings, educational events and smaller social, interfaith and wider community gatherings. The initial construction stage is the shell of the multi-purpose building.

Stage 1c is the prayer hall. It will house up to 375 worshipers and will be used primarily for prayers.
This stage also includes the major car park, driveway entry from Rowena St and some intersection works as required by VicRoads.

Stage 2 will see the construction of the impressive central courtyard, library, funeral and classroom facilities.

Stage 3 construction includes the sports hall, café and caretaker’s residence.

Stage 4 is the small minaret.

Local company Searle Bros will build the BICC, with construction work providing a number of employment and economic opportunities for locals and for local businesses supplying to the site. Everyone involved at all levels are excited about the development, what it means for the local Islamic community and what it means for Bendigo.
