The work was suspended after the first round of dialogue commenced yesterday between Port Vila City Council, custom landowners and relevant government agencies.
PVCC Town Clerk, Peter Sakita set up a meeting to apologise to the landowners on their part for not organising a consultation on that particular land.
According to Sakita, the people were not happy that a cemetery would be located right at the entrance to the village.
Their concerns also surrounded the environmental impact of the development.
