A national security crisis meeting has been held over the capital's occupation and all parliamentarians have signed off on a set of terms and conditions with which they will engage with the protesters.
It comes as anti-mandate protesters in Picton broke an agreement with the local council to vacate the reserve they've set up camp in.
It's day 10 of the occupation there and at Parliament - and there's still no end in sight.
About 100 protesters have taken over Picton's Nelson Square. A deal had been made with the council to move to a different location but that's not happened.
"It was an agreement that was reached in good faith. We're talking about a public reserve.
"It is time that they vacate it," said Marlborough District Mayor John Leggett.
The man who made the agreement said it wasn't set in stone.
"Circumstances have changed. We want to stay here," said Craig Tough.
Despite trespass notices, no one has plans to leave.
"We're waiting for them to drop the mandates and give us freedom," one protester said.
"Mandates - that's the big thing we are against," said another.
A third added: "We just want our country back."
Meanwhile, in the capital, protesters have been attempting to trespass police - and with hundreds of cars blocking Wellington's streets, there's still no answer on how long it will continue.
"I think you'll find people still camping in those grounds several months time," said the NZ Police Association's Chris Cahill.
Top-ranking Government officials are due to hold a national security crisis meeting on Thursday to discuss the protest and make sure all risks have been identified.
It's a protest that could grow even bigger as it heads into its second weekend.
