Police have begun an operation to clear a protest camp near Old Parliament House in Canberra.
The operation on Friday followed a request from the National Capital Authority to "remove structures and vehicles that are on Commonwealth land without a permit".
It followed a court hearing for two men charged over a December 30 protest which saw the doors of the now-museum set on fire.
Police briefly attended the camp before agreeing to come back later on Friday when camp leaders were available.Â
They have asked members of the public to avoid the area.
Protesters on Thursday sought to enter nearby Parliament House but were prevented by police, with a number of people arrested in the forecourt.
The 'sovereign citizen' group has been arguing against COVID-19 vaccinations and calling for the federal government to be 'evicted', among other issues.
