A Wellington Muslim leader says he wants community consultation during the ongoing debate on whether mosques can play the call to prayer over loud speakers.
The City Council is investigating a proposal to change noise control rules, to let mosques play calls at prayer times.
Some Councillors are citing noise concerns.
Leader Tariq Saeed says they'd be played quietly, to not disrupt neighbours.
"We want to explore the possibility, if the community is okay with it. Still, we want to be very respectful and mindful, so we don't cause any discomfort to the people."
