Police and Waka Kotahi are advising
motorists to be aware of the potential for planned protests
to cause some disruption to traffic today in Tāmaki
Makaurau.
Locations that protesters are expected to
gather, including Auckland Domain, will be monitored by
Police.

Any unsafe or dangerous behaviour occurring
throughout the event will be followed up by Police and
appropriate action taken.
Any concerning behaviour can
be reported to Police by calling 105.
Police recognise
the public’s right to protest peacefully and lawfully but
we will take action where
required.
