Inclusion Criteria

Human participants will be those who utilise food outlets in local government facilities in the course of this study. We do not plan any direct contact with or data collection from humans who use these sites.

We plan to conduct a cluster randomised trial, with the local government areas randomised and all participating facilities in each local government area assigned to the same treatment group. Prior to the Intervention, eligible Victorian LGs must have engaged at least three non-seasonal sport and recreation facilities. Non-seasonal facilities are those open at least 10 months of the year. Engagement is defined as in-principle agreement from facility management to meet eligibility criteria as described below. Eligible LGs must have also agreed to provide: (i) sales and environmental audit data; and (ii) in-kind commitment of at least one day per week of project officer time over intervention period.

Eligible facilities must have (i) food and/or drinks available for sale ‘over-the-counter’ (not just vending machines or catering); (ii) agreed to make food retail environment changes; (iii) not fully implemented the Victorian Healthy Choices Guidelines; and (iv) itemised sales data.
