Minister for Local Government Premila Kumar says the Town and Country Planning and Sub-Division Acts are very old pieces of legislation and no longer serve the interest of developers.
While speaking at the World Planning Day Celebrations at the Civic Centre in Suva, Kumar says some attempts and changes were made in the 1970s but it was not completed.
Kumar says they are currently reviewing the legislation to ensure it is fit for purpose for these modern times.
The Minister says many developers sometimes get frustrated with the town and planning department.
