What the model is seeing
Café 67, restaurant 66 and retail 65 sit within 2 points. The model is not choosing a format. The suburb verdict is VERIFY at 66/100.
Demand at 4/10 is the constraint. Rent pressure is 2/10 and competition is 2/10, so the model is not mainly warning about cost or saturation.
Existing notes name Stuarts Point Drive. Those names are not a rent quote, a visitor count, or a growth rate.
The model result is VERIFY. Local evidence is limited, so this screen is not a lease decision.
How to read these scores

Factor Breakdown
Location factors
Demand, rent, competition, seasonality, and tourism — scored and weighted for Australian commercial operators.
Business-Type Scores
How each format performs
Scores use engine-derived weights: cafés weight demand and rent most heavily; restaurants factor tourism; retail factors tourism and demand equally.
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 Port Macquarie suburbs — a score of 80 indicates materially better conditions than 65; it is not a success probability or guarantee.

Westport Park
65Westport Park is the beachside dining and lifestyle precinct adjacent to Town Beach and the Hastings River foreshore — the combination of ocean views, the coastal walk connectivity, and proximity to the CBD creates a premium positioning for hospitality concepts targeting both quality-seeking residents and the visitor market.
Settlement City
61Settlement City is Port Macquarie's major regional shopping centre, anchored by Myer, Kmart, Coles, and Woolworths — the combined anchor tenancy mix generates the highest consistent foot traffic volumes in the Hastings region and creates a year-round retail trade environment that is largely insulated from coastal tourism seasonality.
