Logan City Council started developing its first international relations program in 1995 and has since generated a large amount of goodwill and exchange opportunities for local residents, schools and businesses.
The benefits of these relations have been passed on to a great number of people, particularly the youth of Logan City, who have been given the opportunity to be involved in various exchange programs allowing them to travel and study abroad.
With the success of the program, representatives from more than 400 cities around the world have visited Logan City, thus putting our city in the world map.
These exchanges have given our city valuable opportunities to learn about other cities' cultures and to improve to be a stronger and better city.
Sister Cities
Currently, Logan City has six sister cities in China and Japan.
Sister city exchange activities include ongoing student exchange programs as well as new initiatives in the fields of culture, business, education and government.
One of our most successful sister cities program is the establishment of the Logan Youth Music Exchange (LYME).
Since 2001, LYME (previously known as Mixed Beans) has travelled to many of our sister cities to perform in their music concerts.
There is a large collection of cultural gifts and artefacts such as dolls, wood carvings and other items are currently on display to the public on the third floor of the Administration Centre.
Compilations of books on language and society are also available for loan from the Logan North and Logan Central libraries.
Logan City Council is able to provide introductions for residents or local businesses in the interest of cultural and economic exchange with these cities.
Please note Logan City Council will not be held responsible for the outcomes of any contracts or other arrangements entered into with individuals or organisations relating to these sister cities.
