Bendigo's first mosque appears likely to go ahead after a Victorian court refused an appeal against its planning approval.

Bendigo residents Julie Hoskin and Kathleen Howard were seeking leave to appeal against the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal's (VCAT) decision to uphold the local council's planning approval for the mosque in August.

But the Victorian Appeals Court today refused their last bid to stop the project.

Speaking after the decision, Ms Hoskin said she would seek more legal advice, but wanted to take the matter to the High Court.

Approval for the mosque led to controversy and some divisions within the town.....

Do Mosques in Australia broadcast the 4:30 am morning call to prayer at the same volume that they do in Muslim countries? After all the purpose is to wake people up to go to the mosque.

The majority don't. Part of the approval of this Bendigo mosque, is that the call to prayer must be at a volume low enough that it can not be heard outside of the grounds of the mosque.
