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 — Phillip
Woden Valley commercial hub with a large employed population and underserved lunch demand
Established shopping centre ensures foot traffic but limits positioning for independents
Rent at $220–$320/m² is at the low end for southern ACT commercial strips
Predominantly weekday trading pattern; weekend foot traffic is lower than inner-north
Gap in quality quick-service and café formats within the Melrose Drive corridor
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.
