In a time of global uncertainty due to the COVID-19 crisis, arts and cultural organisations and the broader creative industries sector are facing numerous and overwhelming challenges. From widespread event and festival cancellations that include industry juggernauts Dark Mofo and Vivid, to some organisations closing their doors entirely, we are in uncharted waters - but we are in them together.

Hello, I’m Olivia and I’m the face behind this one-woman microbusiness, working with and supporting community, business and government through a range of consulting services focused on Projects, Planning, and Funding. I live in the beautiful South Burnett region in Queensland, located just a click of the mouse away, or 2.5 hours from Brisbane.

And just like that, 2020 is off and racing! The last couple of months of 2019 were exceptionally busy and I loved every moment. Here’s a snapshot of what I got up to around the South and North Burnett regions.

I’ve had the privilege of working with some fantastic not-for-profit organisations, community groups, businesses and local government this year and my availability for 2019 is ALMOST entirely snapped up. If you would like to work together then I have some space left in November & December before I will be fully booked for the year!

Back by popular demand, next month I’ll be facilitating another Creating a “grant ready” project workshop as part of the Burnett Inland Economic Development Organisation’s Grant-ED program - see you soon Blackbutt!

Last month I headed to Biggenden with Team BIEDO to facilitate the “Grant-ED 101: Creating a ‘grant ready’ project” workshop for community and small business. It was my first visit to the North Burnett since taking the family to the Gayndah Orange Festival and it didn’t disappoint.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of taking part in the Projection Art & Animation workshop, an intensive two-day program which culminated in a screening of moving image works by 13 regional artists on the iconic peanut silos in Kingaroy.

Last month I was thrilled to facilitate the Creating a “grant ready” project workshop as part of the Burnett Inland Economic Development Organisation’s capacity building program Grant-ED. The booked-out program was hosted at The Platform, a new business and community hub located in Murgon, next door to the existing BIEDO office.
