While most mayors in New South Wales are elected by the councillors at meetings, several chose to have directly elected (or popularly elected) mayors. These elections took place alongside the 2017 New South Wales local elections.[2]

This was the first time that the City of Orange and The Hills Shire had a popularly elected mayor, instead of one chosen by councillors.
