When the leaves are left at a site it means 'Do Not Trespass, Do Not Pass.'
Most recently land claimants have placed the leaves in front of the site for new government offices on Malekula in Malampa Province.
The Deputy Prime Minister, Ishmael Kalsakau, who is leading a project to de-centralise government services, said Malampa could lose out to another province.
He told the Daily Post the government wants to push developments forward, but locals must be prepared to receive the government, to ensure the services reach everyone.
