Police said about 20 protesters had gathered outside Piptea Marae today, but moved on after police spoke with them.
They had also seized pipes and plywood sheets that protesters attempted to carry through the cordon today.
Police continued to monitor the protest and conduct "reassurance patrols", particularly between the beginning and end of the work and school day.
