The new Lands Minister Paul Telukluk, has told Radio Vanuatu he intends repealing the Land Law Reform Act.
He was reported saying he is preparing a paper for the Council of Ministers.
Mr Telukluk says the repeal is necessary to ensure economic development is fair for both the custom land owner and developers.
But as the Vanuatu Digest reports the legislation he wants to throw out was the result of the recommendations of various summits involving land owners over many years.
Mr Telukluk's government came to power two weeks ago after a vote of no confidence in Joe Natuman, but the former government is challenging its removal.
