Lucinda Mary "Lucy" Turnbull AO (née Hughes; born 30 March 1958) is an Australian businesswoman, philanthropist, and former local government politician. She served as the Lord Mayor of Sydney from 2003 to 2004 (the first woman to hold the position), having first been elected to the Sydney City Council in 1999. Since leaving office, Turnbull has served in city planning roles, as a company director, and as a board member of various non-profit organisations. Her husband, Malcolm Turnbull, is the Prime Minister of Australia.
Born Lucinda Mary Hughes, Turnbull is the daughter of Tom Hughes, a former Attorney-General of Australia. Her great-grandfather was Sir Thomas Hughes, the first Lord Mayor of Sydney. She was educated at Kincoppal School, Frensham School in Mittagong, and the University of Sydney, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Laws (in 1982). Turnbull also holds a Master of Business Administration from the Australian Graduate School of Management of the University of New South Wales.
Lucy Turnbull was elected to Council in 1999 and immediately held the position of Deputy Lord Mayor, serving under Lord Mayor Frank Sartor. When Sartor retired to enter NSW politics, Turnbull became Lord Mayor. In early 2004, the Carr Labor government sacked and amalgamated the City of Sydney and South Sydney Councils.
