What the engine says about Cloverdale

Demand 7/10: a modest-to-mid, strongly multicultural City of Belmont suburb (8,864 residents; median age 34; 43.2% rented; notable Filipino/Indian communities, English-only-at-home 58.9%) anchored by Belmont Forum — the dominant sub-regional shopping centre for Perth's inner-east — next to Perth Airport and newly served by the Redcliffe Airport-line station.

Demand 7/10: a modest-to-mid, strongly multicultural City of Belmont suburb (8,864 residents; median age 34; 43.2% rented; notable Filipino/Indian communities, English-only-at-home 58.9%) anchored by Belmont Forum — the dominant sub-regional shopping centre for Perth's inner-east — next to Perth Airport and newly served by the Redcliffe Airport-line station.

Competition 6/10: Belmont Forum owns the mainstream trade and is the demand engine, so the play is authentic Filipino/Indian/Asian food and value-and-convenience formats complementing the Forum footfall.
