Linda Scott is a Labor Party Councillor on the City of Sydney Council, first elected in 2012.[1] She currently serves as Deputy Lord Mayor since September 2018 and is also the President of Local Government NSW since December 2017.

Background

Scott graduated with first class honours in Psychology from The University of New South Wales and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. She was an elected student member of the University's governing body, the University Council, which overturned a policy to accept Full Fee-paying undergraduate students into the University. She served as a member alongside former Australian of the Year Dr John Yu and former Hawke Government Federal Education Minister Susan Ryan. She is also a former Convener of Labor for Refugees[2][3] and former Chair of the Surry Hills Neighbourhood Centre.

Local Government career

Scott won Labor's first community preselection, where over 4,000 people elected her to be Labor's candidate for Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney in the 2012 NSW Local Government Elections.[4] She defeated a host of other high-profile candidates to be selected.[5]

She has also campaigned to save and increase inner city green spaces and burying cables underground to enable more kerbside space to plant more trees.[6][7][8] She successfully called on the City to invest in community infrastructure, like skating facilities, a new City Farm in Sydney Park and more sporting facilities.[9][10][11][12] Scott has sought City action to address housing affordability and a better deal for those in public housing.[13][14]

A supporter of the "Recognise" campaign, Linda has successfully moved to have signage identifying Aboriginal and Torres Strait heritage names installed across the City of Sydney, following the idea championed by Hetti Perkins.[15] Scott also opposed the sale of heritage public housing in Millers Point, Dawes Point and The Rocks, where her grandmother once lived, and campaigned to preserve industrial heritage.[16][17][18][19]

During her term on council, Scott has argued for significant investment in new early education centres, more before-and-after-school care and public libraries.[20][21][22][23] Scott also supported a campaign to build a giant rainbow flag in recognition of the LGBT community in Sydney's Taylor Square, which saw the permanent monument erected in 2012.[24][25] Scott is a supporter of live music and street art.[26][27]

In December 2017, Scott was elected to succeed Keith Rhoades as President of Local Government NSW, becoming the first female and first Labor president of the organisation since the merger of the Local Government Association and the Local Shires Association in 2013.[28]

On 17 September 2018, Scott was elected to serve a single term as Deputy Lord Mayor, defeating fellow councillor Christine Forster.[29]
