Sister Cities

Toowoomba Regional Council has three Sister City relationships:

• Takatsuki in Japan,
• Paju in South Korea, and
• Wanganui in New Zealand (North Island).

The purpose of these relationships is not only to enhance cultural exchange between the cities, but to also to promote and foster strong business opportunities.

As a result of these relationships, Toowoomba hosts several delegations throughout the year. By bringing school students, business people and international visitors to the city, our community is much richer for the experience.

Some significant milestones for all Toowoomba's Sister City relationships will be marked in 2011.

• 30th anniversary of the signing of Friendship Agreement with Wanganui.
• 20th anniversary with Takatsuki, Japan on November 13.
• 9th anniversary with Paju, Korea.

2011 is also the Year of Friendship between Australia and Korea.
