Earlier this year police provided support to a council-run operation to prevent any breach of the peace, NSW Police say.
Police have a range of powers to move persons on, however, this is based on reasonable grounds that a group is obstructing traffic/people, intimidating, harassing and/or involved in other illegal activity.
The NSW Police Force will continue to support responsible parties, in this instance the City of Sydney Council, should we be required to assist in moving persons on to prevent any breach of the peace and/or take action where a criminal offence has been identified.
