2. affordable, effective and timely dispute resolution processes; 
3. a fair form of rent adjustment; 
4. implications of statutory rent thresholds; 
5. bank guarantees; 
6. a need for a national lease register; 
7. full disclosure of incentives; 
8. provision of sales results; 
9. contractual obligations relating to store fit-outs and refits; and 
10. any related matters.
