Protesters who are trying to gain access to Wainuiomata Marae in Lower Hutt have been told they are not welcome and to go home.
It comes after residents flocked to the marae on Thursday to protect it from protesters who planned to set up camp there after being removed from Parliament.
Kokiri Marae general manager Tina Olsen-Ratana was at Wainuiōmata Marae on Friday. Olsen-Ratana told Newshub the protesters weren't welcome.
"We are not letting them in, we are just asking them to move on," she said. "It's very clear, we are not looking for confrontation of any sort, we just don't want them to park here, we just want them to leave."
Olsen-Ratana said staff and locals have faced some harassment and abuse but "nothing major".
"There's been a little bit of trouble… They come in dribbles, in little groups of one, two or three at a time. But they're not coming out in force so far.
"There has been a little bit of that [harassment] and a little bit of grandstanding, nothing too difficult that the whanau here can't manage."
Olsen-Ratana said some staff have been sworn at, threatened and pushed by protesters looking for shelter.
A man also went on an abusive tirade before a physical altercation occurred on Friday.
The man was asked to move along but refused. He was then approached by two people who tried to get him to leave again. Instead, the man lashed out and pushed one of them. He is then restrained on the ground until police arrive.
Olsen-Ratana praised locals who have been protecting the marae since yesterday afternoon.
"They've been unbelievable. All through the night and all through the day, those that aren't able to be here are bringing food and bringing continuous support."
Police told Newshub they are "aware of protesters at various locations around the country".
There are also reports of protesters spending the night Remutaka Forest Park and at a temple.
Speaker of the House Trevor Mallard praised Wainuomata locals' response on Thursday, saying they did a better job than him.
"Spent a bit of time down there this evening. My community is doing a better job of stopping the feral campers than I did. Thanks neighbours," Mallard tweeted.
Wainuiōmata Marae was the first marae-based vaccination clinic in Wellington.
Mallard has been criticised by experts for his tactics to move the protesters on. Early on the Speaker turned Parliament's sprinklers on and blasted music in an effort to get protesters to move on. His efforts were unsuccessful.
On Thursday Police revealed 100 people had been arrested and are facing charges including arson, grievous bodily harm, inciting violence, theft, assault, trespass and obstruction.
They said a police investigation into the protest has now begun.
"Police investigators have also begun the process of reviewing a huge amount of footage taken of yesterday's operation, to identify possible further lines of enquiry and prosecution."
It comes after protesters clashed violently with police on Wednesday. After 23 days of occupation, police moved in to take control of Parliament grounds. The move was met by hostility with protesters tearing up pavements to throw bricks at officers and starting several fires.
While they were eventually moved on, many vowed to re-group at other protests.
