A controversial mosque earmarked for Buchanan has been recommended for approval by staff at Cessnock Council.
It will now be up to councillors to decide if the project is given the go-ahead at this Wednesday's meeting.
Council planners say the mosque, which has been re-designed so it's further off the road, meets all the planning requirements.
The revised plan also includes a separate building for a funeral home and additional landscaping.
Of the 600 submissions to council, 447 opposed the development while 163 supported it.
