Hi Pearcy,
You can repot it now. With no problem, water in with the usual seasol and in semi shade on the very hot days we have a couple coming towards the end of the week after a couple of weeks back in full sun. Olives love the sun.
Love where you are taking the style of this one. Olives :imo: look great with jins, so at a later date you could probably make the jin bigger.
Cheers
Kirky

Thank greatly for the information everyone, I'll try find some free time in the coming days and give it a repot.

Cheers,
Pearcy.

Finally found a free minute, and only 33 days later! Safe to say life is a little busy at the moment.

Anyway... I gave this one a repot today, with a bit of a tilt toward the viewer.

Its in a much more free draining mix now, so hopefully with good watering the issue it had will resolve itself.

There's also a sacrifice branch on the bottom right branch in the photo. I have since reduced it to try keep the struggling branch as the highest point to try help it out.

Cheers,
Pearcy.
