• encourage a vibrant, engaged and resilient community

• value local collaboration and partnerships
• encourage participation in community life and foster social cohesion
• promote and encourage environmental protection and sustainability
• support our city vision of ‘City of Logan, a green city full of pride, opportunity and culture’
