Is Koongamia suitable for a restaurant?
Demand 5/10: the smallest suburb of its belt (985 residents), a compact value-market pocket in the Greenmount/Darling Range foothills south-east of Midland, with the lowest incomes ($1,260/week) and highest rental share (33.2%) of its belt and only a modest local shop strip.

Competition 4/10: a value everyday-essentials format on the local shops banking the budget local base plus the Great Eastern Hwy passing trade and the Greenmount/Midland flow is the realistic play — cheap-rent value, very small base, no destination.
