The proponent said the average number of customers that a store interacts with is a little over six per hour.

"On average customers would be likely to visit the Pets Domain stores about once every two-three months, with the duration of stay within the store approximately 10 minutes," the proposal stated.

Pets Domain has 55 stores across Australia, including one in southern Tasmania at Cambridge.

The plan stated the development was in keeping with the surrounding retail precinct.

"It proposes a flexible floor plan that suits not only the intended use, but many possible future uses and will promote activity and attract people to the area," the proposal read.

Pets Domain chief executive Jason van Peelen founded the chain and is from Launceston.
