Origins

IBAS Chatswood first opened its doors in 1996. Originally situated near the train station and Westfield Shopping Mall, it was forced to move due to the expansion of the railway station. On March 27, 2004, the centre moved to new premises located adjacent to the shopping mall. The new venue has proven to be more ideal as it caters for a Buddha Hall, classroom, gift shop and other facilities. Since opening at the new premises, it has enjoyed an increased patronage.;

Reverends: Rev. Jian Kuan
