Individual theme elements	Indicator (strategy)	High level targets (actions)
Attract grocery stores that provide high-quality, healthy, affordable foods to all residents and particularly lower-income families	Incorporate the identification of grocery stores as important considerations for developing and redeveloping neighbourhoods into Planning Scheme, so during the review and negotiation process for planned unit developments and mixed-use development proposals within commercial zones, possibilities for including food retail are considered shared parking options for grocery stores and other property owners are considered. Relax zoning requirements that make it difficult for supermarkets to move into densely populated urban and rural areas. Provide parking subsidies for supermarkets. Implement policies that ensure recently closed grocery stores can be replaced by another one as quickly as possible.	Engage in public-private partnerships with developers to identify and assemble parcels of land to be developed for grocery retail. Partner with not-for-profit organisations that provide loans, grants and technical assistance to provide incentives to supermarkets to relocate in lower-income areas. Help facilitate negotiations among grocery stores and land owners. Assess transport needs in areas with a high concentration of residents without vehicles to determine if additional transport options are needed.
