Giacomo Arnott has been elected as Port Stephens’ new Deputy Mayor.

He’ll serve in the role for a year, after being sworn in at Tuesday’s night Council meeting.

Councillors voted unanimously for Cr Arnott to take up the job, who was the youngest person ever elected to Port Stephens Council, just 23 years old in 2017.

Cr Arnott says he’s looking forward to continue to deliver services to the community and improve transparency on Council.

He hopes his election is proof to young people across Raymond Terrace and other parts of the city, they can achieve anything.
