One portal for council staff to run sister city and twin town partnerships — agendas, minutes, reports, and the exchanges between twin towns — and to show the economic case for keeping the relationship active.
If your council already has a sister city, this is where your committee runs day to day. If it doesn't yet, start below.
Not every council has a twin town, and starting one from scratch is slow — usually a mayor's ask, then months of staff time chasing the right counterpart. Round Table shortens that: tell us what your council is looking for and we'll help match you with a city seeking the same thing.
Region, population, and what a partnership would need to deliver — trade, culture, education, or civic exchange.
We surface councils overseas with a compatible profile and an active interest in a new sister city relationship.
A short brief you can hand to your mayor or council — the "here's how to get started" version, not a 40-page report.
If your council can't find a matching sister city right now, we can also route you to your local chamber of commerce — they're often already working similar international leads and can pick up where a formal sister city match isn't available yet.
Every publicly recorded Australian sister/twin city pairing we know of. Search by either city or country.
Round Table is the shared workspace behind every partnership on this site — built with the committees who use it, not for them.
Agendas, minutes, and action items for both sides of the partnership, in one place instead of scattered email threads.
Delegations, student exchanges, trade missions — logged so the next council term can see what's actually happened.
A simple report your mayor can use to answer "what do we get out of this" — built from the activity already logged, not a separate exercise.
