Cairns Vet Clinic Screening

Pet demand, competition & cashflow on real traffic · Cairns, QLD

Vet clinic site appraisal

—

1 · Site — how many vets fit

A land parcel loses area to setbacks, parking and landscaping (buildable ratio below). A building footprint already is the floor plate. Picking the wrong one is a ~2× capacity error.

2 · Catchment — how many vets the households support

Vet supply & competition

Vet FTE

Every clinic in the register is already placed. They count even outside the catchment ring — pressure decays over network distance, not straight line, and a rival across the Barron River is much further away than it looks. Add or delete pins to test a scenario.

Clinic register —

The trading clinics this model nets off, from the QLD Vet Index plus the Busivet POI set. A ringed marker on the map is pinned at its SA2 centroid, not a street address — treat its distance as a suburb, not a site. An estimated FTE is inferred from practitioner counts.

SA2 vet demand

Shade SA2 polygons by this measure

The gap is vet FTE the households support minus vet FTE already trading, so positive means the pets are there and the vets are not. Shading the polygons costs some volume contrast — the link ramp was validated against the flat scrim, not against a fill.
