Canberra's Muslim community has described planning approval for the territory's second mosque as a "victory of goodwill".
The ACT Planning and Land Authority yesterday approved Canberra Muslim Community Inc's application to build a 500-capacity mosque on The Valley Avenue in Gungahlin.
In their assessment, ACT planners found surrounding roads could cope with traffic generated by the mosque and that the proposed 43 on-site parking spaces were sufficient.
