Is Bicton suitable for a retail store?
Demand 6/10: an affluent riverside family suburb (6,961 residents; household income $2,007/week) bounded by the Swan River and Blackwall Reach, with Point Walter Reserve (golf, swimming sandbar, foreshore) a genuine weekend riverside destination over a settled owner-occupier base.

Competition 5/10: a low-key local commercial life anchored by the small Preston Point Road strip; the Point Walter weekend draw gives a small café a real recreation lift.
