Program: Could better planning laws fix fast food over-saturation?

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

Where you live affects your health in so many ways, and as our cities grow we're building new houses, new shops, new amenities from scratch. So why do so many new developments become fast food highways?

A proposal to change local planning processes in Victoria could address the growing problem of fast food over-saturation in the suburbs, would it make us healthier?

Guests:

  • Melanie Davern, Director of the Australian Urban Observatory at RMIT University 
  • Jane Martin, Executive Manager at Food for Health Alliance
  • Mike Bodsworth, Mayor of Surf Coast Council in Victoria
