Factor Breakdown
Each factor is scored 1–10. Higher demand is better; lower rent, competition, and seasonality are better. Tourism is context-dependent.
Business-Type Scores
Scores use engine-derived weights: cafés weight demand and rent most heavily; restaurants factor tourism; retail factors tourism and demand equally.
Analyst Notes — Fyshwick
Industrial and bulky-goods precinct with a growing artisan food and café scene
Very low rent ($160–$260/m²) enables high-margin operations for the right format
Weekend market trade and direct-to-consumer food producers attract a loyal day-tripper crowd
Not suitable for standard café or restaurant concepts relying on walk-in evening traffic
Best for roasteries, breweries, food production with cellar-door style retail components
Methodology: Scores are engine-derived from five observable inputs (demand strength, rent pressure, competition density, seasonality risk, tourism dependency — each 1–10). These feed into business-type-specific weighted composites via a single scoring engine used across all markets. Scores are relative estimates calibrated across all Canberra suburbs — a score of 80 indicates materially better conditions than 65; it is not a success probability or guarantee.
