Olly Arkins, former chief executive officer of the Australian Festival Association, was unanimously appointed Deputy Lord Mayor for the City of Sydney. Arkins stated that she ran for Council partly due to issues such as lockout laws and policies that attempted to restrict music festivals. She noted that advocating for the rewrite of the Music Festivals Act in New South Wales was a major achievement during her tenure with the Australian Festival Association.
