Maz McGann is a consultant and independent practitioner with over twenty years’ experience working with government, community and commercial clients on a range of initiatives. She specialises in arts and cultural management, but her work often intersects with tourism, community development, sport and recreation, facilities planning, place-making, small business development and heritage preservation. She is an expert facilitator, communicator and researcher that has worked with a variety of clients to formulate and implement strategies, business plans and feasibility studies, manage projects, design events and engage with stakeholders to achieve a range of outcomes. Maz is a creative thinker and has centered her business on developing opportunities for people to actively engage in community life – in ways that are both meaningful and accessible. She relishes in the development of bold ideas and creative approaches but ensures these can be grounded and achievable.
