There are "serious concerns" for the dozens of children who remain at the anti-mandate protest outside Parliament, with police urging demonstrators to take them home with them.
Police say they are working with Oranga Tamariki to "ensure children are at the forefront of planning and response decisions".
"We estimate around 30 children are currently present at the protest at Parliament grounds," a statement read.
"Police are also aware of a number of protesters planning to travel to Wellington to join the protest over the weekend. We urge people to stay away from an occupation site that is no longer a safe environment for families and children."
Police say their focus is to contain the current perimeters of the protest and maintain a safe community for Wellington residents.
"Any vehicles that arrive and park illegally outside of the protest perimeter may be subject to towing and impounding.
"Police will continue to exercise judgement about the application of tactics. For that reason, we will continue to engage in order to reduce the impact of the protest."
A total of 132 arrests have been made in relation to incidents at the protest grounds since the convoy arrived there more than a fortnight ago.
