The protest comes after ACT Policing ramped up its response to anti-vaccination protesters camped out in front of the National Library of Australia.
Local officers, along with additional resources from the Australian Federal Police, began moving equipment and illegally parked vehicles from the Patrick White Lawns on Friday morning.
The protesters descended on the grass this week as part of the "Convoy to Canberra" movement, objecting vaccine mandates and coronavirus restrictions.
The National Capital Authority on Wednesday requested ACT Police enforce legislation prohibiting illegal camping and parking at the lawns adjacent to the library.
Officers attended the grass on Wednesday and informed campers both verbally and via printed material that they are in breach of legislation.
Further audio warnings were made in the area on Thursday.
"This morning, police have moved into the area and will be requesting camping equipment and vehicles to be moved from the site," an ACT Police statement read.
"Items that are not moved may be seized by police.
"Police are urging those in the area to move their equipment and vehicles when asked to do so."
ACT Police added that protesting in the Parliamentary Triangle is permitted, however camping and parking without authority is not.
Locals have been advised to avoid central Canberra on Saturday as thousands of people from across Australia descend on the nation's capital to protest vaccine mandates.

Thousands of protesters descend on Canberra's Parliamentary Triangle to protest vaccine mandates
Thousands of anti-vaccination protesters have gathered in the Australian Capital Territory to demand "freedom" and no more COVID-19 jab mandates.
The demonstrators, who have travelled to the nation's capital from across the country, marched from Canberra's Glebe Park to Old Parliament house on Saturday.
Locals were advised to avoid the area due to the protest and traffic delays.
Protesters displayed Australian flags and placards reading "no vaccine mandate" as they marched.
Speeches were given at Old Parliament House and the crowd sang along to I am Australian.
The group has since moved towards Parliament House.
"Heavy traffic along Northbourne Avenue especially Commonwealth Avenue Bridge South bound," ACT Policing Traffic wrote to Twitter.
"Protest activity, heavy delays, avoid area and take an alternate route."

Three people arrested in Canberra's parliamentary triangle as protests against COVID-19 vaccine mandates continue
Police and protesters have clashed and three people have been arrested as part of ongoing demonstrations against COVID-19 vaccine mandates in Canberra.
ACT Policing said one woman had been charged with assaulting a police officer, and two men who reportedly interfered with the woman's arrest would both be charged with obstructing police.
About 4:00pm on Wednesday, police officers went to the area outside the National Library of Australia in Canberra's parliamentary zone, to provide written information to demonstrators that they were parking and camping illegally, and might be fined if they remained.
Protesters had set up tents on the Patrick White lawns adjacent to the library when police arrived.
In footage of the clash on social media, some protesters could be heard yelling "you serve us" at police officers attending the scene.
This is the second time in a month that police have informed protesters they were camped illegally, with officers dismantling protesters' tents outside Old Parliament House in January after issuing an order to move on.
ACT Policing said they recognised the right to peaceful protest, but legal issues - such as camping and parking illegally - would still be dealt with by law enforcement.
"The rights of people to peacefully protest is always acknowledged by ACT Policing, however when illegal actions take place, the people responsible will be dealt with in accordance with the law," an ACT Policing spokesperson said.
ACT Ambulance Service paramedics attended the scene in Parkes and treated two people for minor injuries, but none required hospitalisation.
The scuffle between protesters and police lasted about an hour and officers then left the area.

Convoy to Canberra marches on Old Parliament House to protest against vaccine mandates
Cameron Gooley - February 5, 2022
Thousands of people marched from Canberra's CBD to Old Parliament House on Saturday as part of a convoy protesting against government COVID-19 restrictions such as vaccination mandates.
The marchers, many carrying Australian and Eureka Stockade flags, were joined by trucks on roads as they marched through the city.
Victorian man Mark Anania said he'd joined the Convoy to Canberra protests to fight vaccination mandates.
"We're here for our freedoms," he said. "We're from Victoria, we've been through just about every rally in Victoria and we've come down yesterday just in the spur of the moment."
"Stayed in our car overnight and like most people here we've been out of work since October, and just fighting for our rights as human beings to be able to choose whether or not we want to take a vaccine," he said.
The Convoy to Canberra rally originally arrived in Canberra on Monday morning, when thousands of people gathered at Parliament House.
Participants had spent the last week camping on the Patrick White lawns out the front of the National Library, but were evicted from the site by ACT Police and the Australian Federal Police on Friday.
Many protesters moved peacefully to the Canberra showgrounds afterwards.
Police also arrested a 44-year-old man after allegedly finding a loaded modified rifle in his vehicle. ACT Police say he is expected to be charged with possession of an illegal firearm.
Authorities have warned that there may be traffic disruptions around Canberra's CBD and the Parliamentary Triangle in the coming days due to a number of both planned and unplanned protests.

In October last year, Professor Chen shared details of the WeChat group, called FD group - FD standing for "fair dinkum" - with the ABC's Background Briefing.
Members of the chat group said it was totally harmless.
Today, Professor Chen still maintains that he has not done anything wrong and is not a risk to Australia's national security.
"It was alleged that I was in a WeChat group and pressure was exerted for foreign interference," he said.
"Whoever in their right mind would ... use [a] WeChat group chat to exert political interference?
"I am just speechless and shocked."
His comments come almost a year after ABC Investigations reported on search warrants issued against the prime suspect, John Zhang.
The warrants identified at least another nine people in connection to the investigation, including Professor Chen and Mr Li.
According to search warrants served on Mr Zhang in June 2020, the AFP suspects he was part of a group of foreign agents secretly collaborating with the United Front Workers Department and China's leading spy agency, the Ministry of State Security (MSS), to influence Mr Moselmane.
The warrants allege the group may have broken Australia's foreign interference laws by trying to influence the politician covertly in a "private social media chat group and other fora," and by concealing their alleged collaborations with the Chinese state.
The AFP declined to comment on the ongoing investigations.
Professor Chen and Mr Li are both well-known academics in their fields.
Over his career, Professor Chen has attended events with former foreign minister and NSW premier Bob Carr, and was the translator for former prime minister Bob Hawke on his 1994 trip to China.
Professor Chen is a prominent commentator on Australian relations in the Chinese state media tabloid, the Global Times.
His academic specialty is analysing the work of Nobel-prize-winning Australian author Patrick White.
His colleague Li is a Peking Opera lover and his PhD is about Australian literature from the 1950s and 1960s.
In the letter, Professor Chen outlined his academic work, including his position as director of his university's Australian Studies department, editing journals, and running an annual contest for university students to test their knowledge of Australia.
He said he made candid comments about bilateral relations between Australia and China.
He said while he was sometimes critical of some of Australia's policies, his intention was to "eliminate misunderstanding".
"I am well known in China as one of the most vocal promoters and advocators of understanding of and friendship with Australia.
"I have a deep fondness of Australia as a country, a society and a culture. I have done nothing and will do nothing to act as a risk to Australia's security."

Western Sydney University, where Li is studying for a PhD, told Chinese students in an email it was supporting Li to seek a review of the visa cancellation.
The university told Reuters in a statement Li had an "impressive track record". The visa decision was a matter for government, it said, adding it supported new government guidelines on foreign interference.
Jocelyn Chey, a former Consul-General in Hong Kong who also helped establish the Australia China Council in 1979, says she regards Li as "one of our best friends in China".
"Any time I have heard him speak about Australia it has been very positive," she told Reuters in an email.
POLITICAL RESEARCH
Two Australian academics who knew Chen said they were surprised by his recent criticism of the Australian government.
"From an Australian point of view, he seems to slip between academic work and journalism and the (China Communist) Party line," said Greg McCarthy, a former chair of Australian studies at Peking University.
McCarthy said he believes Chen felt betrayed as the diplomatic dispute between Canberra and Beijing worsened after 2017.
"Chen stepped into the middle of politics with a background in literature and an idealised version of Australia," he said.
Chen's engagement with Australia began in 1987 with a PhD on Australia's Nobel laureate Patrick White and he began studying in Australia in 1991. When he returned to Shanghai in 1994, he was asked by his university to interpret for another former prime minister, Bob Hawke, on a business trip.
Chen's university encouraged him to "diversify" from Australian literature, he said, so he "expanded research to Australian politics and foreign affairs".
He said the Global Times is the only English-language newspaper that offers opportunities in China to have his articles published, and his criticism of Australia is aimed at improving relations. He said he continues to write on Australian culture in Chinese literary journals.
Chen visited Australia six times in 2019, including one visit at the invitation of the Chinese embassy, which organised for three Chinese academics to meet with Australian think-tanks - including the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, labelled as "anti-China" by Beijing.
The Chinese embassy paid for his $1,000 airfare, he said. "You can't buy someone for that," he added.

Barred scholar Chen Hong's deep connections to Australia
Shanghai-based academic Chen Hong has been a frequent visitor to Australia, with an interest in the country that dates back to his scholarship of Patrick White in the 1980s and has included a role as a translator for former prime minister Bob Hawke in the 90s.
Chen, who has had his visa to visit Australia revoked, along with Australian studies scholar Li Jianjun, is one of the most well-known academics in the network of Australian studies centres around China.
While writing frequent articles critical of Australia in publications such as China's nationalistic Global Times, Chen enjoyed his regular visits to Australia, where he had many contacts and friends dating back to his first visit in 1991.
His columns and articles critical of Australia appeared in stark contrast to his love of visiting the country, particularly in recent times.
Urbane, friendly and fluent in English, Chen headed the chair of Australian studies at the East China Normal University in Shanghai, using it as a base for his frequent international travel.
As political ties between Australia and China worsened, he wrote articles critical of federal government policy that irritated Australian diplomats but would have gone down well with China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Chen began studying Australian literature at East China Normal in the 1980s, deciding to become an expert on White after reading The Tree of Man.
He did his masters thesis on White's Voss, based on the experience of explorer Ludwig Leichhardt, which he credited with giving him an insight into the Australian outback.
He did a PhD on White and translated David Marr's biography of White into Chinese.
Giving a paper on White at an Australian studies conference in China in 1990, he met former Australian prime minister Gough Whitlam, who arranged for him to visit Australia in 1991.
Chen spent time at La Trobe University in Melbourne, beginning a lifetime of building up contacts in academia in Australia.
In 1994, he was asked to translate for former prime minister Bob Hawke during a visit to China.
In 2001, he took over as director of the Australian studies centre at his university, building it up as one of the most active and well-known of more than 30 Australian studies centres across China.
In an interview with The Australian in Shanghai last year, he said the centre's mission was to "promote a better understanding between the two countries and people".
While he described Australia as his "second home", he argued that his criticism of Australia was like Kevin Rudd, who famously decided to speak out about China's human rights shortcomings in a speech in Mandarin at Peking University on his first visit to China as prime minister.
"When Kevin Rudd was in Beijing, he said if you want to be a true friend of China, you do not just compliment China, you speak out when you see something you don't agree with," Chen told The Australian.
On a visit to Australia last year, he said he was looking to recruit junior academics from Australia with an interest in China to work at his university in Shanghai.
He expressed his concern at what he saw a growing "anti-China hysteria" in Australia.
He argued that Australian universities saw Chinese students as a "money tree" and warned that there was a danger that the Chinese student market in Australia was being taken for granted.
Also denied a visit was Li, another senior Chinese academic with a longtime interest in Australia.
Li is director of the Australian Studies Centre at Beijing Foreign Studies University and has been secretary-general of the Chinese Association for Australian Studies since 2014.
He has also been managing editor of the Chinese Journal of Australian Studies published by the Social Sciences Academic Press (China). He was a visiting scholar at Griffith University in 2002 and a visiting research fellow at Menzies Centre for Australian Studies at King's College London in 2016 and was a recipient of the BHP Billiton Australia China Scholarship in 2017.
He has been working on a PhD at the Western Sydney University's Writing and Society Research Centre, researching Australian writers in China in the 1950s and 1960s.

Mr Chen's interest in Australia goes back to the eighties when he began studying Australian literature at East China Normal University.
The university hosted one of a number of centres of Australian studies which were initially focused on the study of Australian literate.
Chen became a passionate follower of author Patrick White and has a WeChat group of fellow Chinese followers of White.

Chen said he did have a WeChat group which included friends based in Australia which has been mentioned this week in the media in Australia.
"It is a totally innocuous private friendly WeChat group.
"I went through it last week. I scrolled back and looked through the content.
"I have a lot of close friends in Australia.
"We post articles in Chinese and English of interest. We share pictures and post funny pictures of animals."
Mr Chen said he had been critical of Australian policy on China and what he saw as the rise in anti-China sentiment in his writings recently.
He said he hoped these comments, which have not gone down well with some in Canberra, were not part of the reason that he had his visa withdrawn.
"There are of course a lot of things which Australia and China don't agree on."
He said he felt that "Canberra" had been leading the anti-China rhetoric and was "taking measures to break up with China".
"When China makes any response to it, it is attacked as 'Wolf Warrior' diplomacy," he said.
Mr Chen has argued this his criticisms on the federal government's policies on China are akin to the argument put forward by forward by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd who spoke frankly about China's human rights issues on his first visit to Beijing as Prime Minister.

Barred scholar Chen Hong thought ASIO's visa missive was 'fraud'
1/2
Shanghai based Australian scholar Chen Hong wants to come back to Australia despite losing his visa on the basis that he has been assessed by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) as a possible security risk to Australia.
"Once the pandemic is over, I would love to visit Australia again," he said in an interview with The Australian by phone from Shanghai.
He said he was "shocked and disappointed" to learn that his visa to visit Australia revoked.
"There was no way I would be doing anything which is a risk to Australia," he said.
"This is the kind of thing I never imagined would be happening to me."
Chen, who has been director of the Australian Studies Centre at the East China Normal University since 2001 and has been visiting Australia since the early nineties, is a long time student of Australian author Patrick White and translated for former Prime Minister Bob Hawke during a visit to China in the nineties.
He said he initially thought an email he got from the Federal Department of Home Affairs telling him his visa was revoked as he as a possible security risk to Australia was a scam.
"A month ago, I received an email saying my visa was revoked on the basis that I was a security risk to Australia," he said.
"I thought it was a fraud or a scam."
But he said he then came back to the email and was shocked to find it was real.
"I was disappointed and distressed," he said.
Mr Chen said he then wrote back to the department, hoping to convince it to change its mind.
"I wrote a letter back saying that there was no way I accept that assessment of me," he said.
"I am one of the most vocal proponents of understanding between Australia and China.
"I have a deep fondness of for Australia."
He said he had been given no reason for the decision and had received no reply to his email trying to get the decision overturned.
Mr Chen, who has had his visa to visit Australia revoked, along with Australian studies scholar Li Jianjun, is one of the most high profile academics in the network of Australia China centres around China.
Li Jianjun, who is director of the Australian Studies Centre, Beijing Foreign Studies University and has been secretary-general of the Chinese Association for Australian Studies since 2014, is currently working on a PhD on Australian writers of the fifties and sixties including James Aldridge, Frank Hardy, Jack Lindsay, Dymphna Cusack, Katharine Susannah Prichard, Mona Brand, Wilfred Burchett, Leslie Rees, and Henry Lawson.
Chen often describes Australia as his "second home" and says he has a lot of friends in Australia, some of whom keep in regular communication through WeChat groups, China's equivalent of WhatsApp.
He has been a frequent commentator on Australian affairs for Chinese newspapers such as the nationalistic Global Times as well as with the Australian media.
He said he had had a three-year visa to come to Australia which was due to expire next year.
He said he had been visiting Australia two to three times a year and visited the county five or six times last year.
His last visit to Australia was in January for the annual high level dialogue between Australia and China.
The Australian delegation was headed up by former Prime Minister John Howard.
