What the engine says about Greensborough
Demand 8/10: the dominant activity centre of Melbourne's north-east — Greensborough Plaza (58,800 m² of retail, 170-plus specialty stores plus Coles, Aldi, Kmart and the largest Target in Australia), a Hurstbridge-line station, the City of Banyule civic headquarters and the WaterMarc aquatic centre draw a wide Diamond Valley catchment onto a settled 21,070-resident base.

Competition 6/10: a super-regional mall concentrates the food and retail offer — an operator on the surrounding Main Street strip must serve what the centre leaves rather than compete with it head-on.
