The Sydney suburbs saying no to fast food giants in the name of 'heart and character'

 For certain Sydney communities, protecting their identity means pushing back against the fast food giants.

In recent months, some inner-city suburbs have rallied in a bid to reject development proposals, voicing their opinions on social media, in submissions to council and even with vandalism.

It comes as the number of Australian fast food and takeaway businesses in the country surpassed 26,000 in 2025, IbisWorld data shows.

The country's top three remain the same as five years ago, according to Roy Morgan Research: McDonald's, KFC and Hungry Jack's.

These communities explain why they have fought to largely remain free of these popular outlets.

How To Move Food When Moving

Moving food can be a logistical challenge, but with some careful planning, it can be done efficiently. Start by using up perishable items or donating them to reduce the amount you need to move. For non-perishable items, pack them in sturdy boxes, making sure to seal them tightly to prevent spills. Use insulated coolers or bags for items that need to stay cold, like frozen foods or dairy products, and consider using dry ice for longer moves.

But when she was made redundant at the age of fifty-two, her sense of purpose wavered. Instead of retreating, she paused and asked herself a simple, yet powerful question: What now?   That question lingered until one quiet afternoon, over a cup of coffee and a slice of her famous banana bread. We sat in her sunlit kitchen, and out of the blue , she looked up and said, “It’s time to build something of my own.”     A few weeks later, she stumbled upon a small cafe for sale in Adelaide. It wasn’t about chasing profit , it never was. For Helen, it was about creating a space filled with warmth, where people felt welcome and could share stories over good food . What began as an unexpected detour became the start of something deeply meaningful.   Now, she starts and ends her day with...

Mangoes of course are a sweet fruit perfect for summer breakfast and treats, but don’t discount the mango savoury dish. We probably all had a mango chicken dish as kids, so tonight Ed’s going to give it a modern update, basing it in an Indonesian or Thai style light curry. A mint-mango salsa is the perfect accompaniment with the sweetness counter-acting the heat of the curry. Ed’s updated mango chicken is the perfect reason to buy that extra mango this summer.
