We collaborate with many different practices across planning, architecture, and design, on projects of varying scales, achieving better accessibility outcomes for everyone and satisfying regulatory requirements.
We engage with all levels of government, government agencies, and the NGO/NfP sector, internationally, nationally, and locally, to deliver comprehensive insight into built environment accessibility.
We work with Universities, Professional Associations, Disability and Disabled Peoples Organisations, and LGAs and Advocacy groups building capacity to improve built
environment accessibility outcomes.
We co-create with individuals, business, NGO/NfPs, and government to achieve people-centric, accessible built environments, whether existing or new, across all stages of procurement, design, and delivery.
Productively use our unique transdisciplinary skills to ensure all projects and activities are underpinned by the entwined principles of accessibility, sustainability, and universal design.
In December 2025, Mary Ann was invited to participate in the now-annual Melbourne School of Design Ableist Cities Symposium. Fellow ‘PhD panelists’ included Dr Patrick Dwyer, Dr Sonya Iskandar, and Imogen Howe.
Recently (late October 2025), Mary Ann was invited by Hing_Wah Chau (course chair in architectural design at Victoria University) to guest lecture on built environment accessibility, to VU’s Bachelor of Architectural Design 3rd year students.
In the spirit of reconciliation Visionary Design Development also acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community. We pay our respect to elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
