Sister City

Joondalup’s Sister City is Jinan, in the People’s Republic of China. The two Cities formalised a long-standing relationship in September 2004, in a ceremony which was broadcast on Jinan television.

The City of Jinan is located in the Shandong Province and is home to over five million people. The City is significant both culturally and historically, and is recognised as the birthplace of Chinese civilisation. Jinan is famous for its numerous springs and lakes and is known throughout China as the ‘Springs City’. For more information on Jinan, visit the Jinan City website.

The Joondalup-Jinan Sister City partnership was established to promote friendship, peace and cross-cultural awareness between the two Cities.

• Edith Cowan University 
• Joondalup Business Association
