Camps of protesters still remain in Christchurch, Dunedin and Picton and police have confirmed they are monitoring each site and will take action if and when necessary to prevent any situation similar to Wellington.
In Christchurch and Dunedin, and many other places, police were keeping a close eye on protesters.
"Police around the country have observed small numbers of people gathering, often in front of police stations, to protest," said the spokesperson.
"Police respects the lawful right to protest and these groups have not caused any issues, typically dispersing on their own after an hour or so.
"A handful of smaller protest camps remain in parts of the country other than Wellington, and police continue to monitor these sites and will respond to any issues as they arise."
But they won't need to bother with the Auckland Domain group - who have packed up and left their camp voluntarily.
Picton is likely the first site to face any forward push by law enforcement, with officers being called in from around New Zealand to "bolster" local numbers on the front line.
In Wellington yesterday, at dawn, on the 23rd day of the protest at Parliament, police moved in to "restore access" to the area.
They aimed to move the people, vehicles, tents and structures covering the surrounding area.
Within about 90 minutes the majority of the crowd had been moved on and all of its infrastructure placards and makeshift kitchens, churches and other sites were pulled to the ground.
Eighty-seven people were arrested and seven police officers injured on a day in which hundreds of officers moved in on the occupation - culminating in a mid-afternoon swarming of Parliament's grounds.
Some protesters set tents alight as they were shunted off Parliament's lawn by riot police, leading to frightening scenes in front of the Beehive.
Twenty-four hours later the Auckland protest disbanded.
Police closed roads into the Domain but it appears the small group who had been protesting moved on voluntarily.
Auckland Council confirmed the roads had been reopened to the public "following a successful operation ... to remove the protest encampment that has been occupying part of the public land since Saturday".
Mayor Phil Goff said that the encampment was removed without confrontation or aggression.
"I have been in regular contact with police and the Government to ensure a successful resolution, and our compliance staff have worked closely with police to achieve this outcome," he said.
"Thank you to the police officers and our compliance team for their efforts and for working in a coordinated way to ensure a safe end to the unlawful occupation.
"The right to protest is a fundamental part of our democracy, however that does not give anyone the right to consider themselves above the law.
"Nobody is entitled to camp on the Auckland Domain and to use their vehicles to obstruct access by other members of the public to a public space."
It is understood the Picton site may be the next to face enforcement action.
A number of protesters have been camped at Nelson Square since February 7.
They were given trespass notices after being on the site for about 10 days but many have refused to leave.
"The Picton protesters have said on a number of occasions that they will move on once the Wellington protest was over - well, that time has now come," he said.
Leggett said "fresh police resources" were en route to Picton and "enforcement action would result if the protest group did not move on voluntarily".
"Picton residents, especially those living near the square, have had enough, he said.
"My office has received a constant stream of complaints from locals - I don't think the protesters realise how unwelcome they are."
Leggett said Picton was a "tight-knit community that includes many older folk".
"The square is in the middle of a residential area. The continued occupation of the reserve is unacceptable," he said.
"I look forward to seeing more police officers on the ground in Picton."
The Herald has learned police from across the South Island at least have been redeployed to Picton.
A police spokesperson said the Tasman District staff were continually monitoring the ongoing activity.
"Police recognise people have a right to peaceful protest, however, we also recognise our community has the right to feel safe," the spokesperson said.
"To ensure we have a visible presence for reassurance and to ensure staff are able to respond any issues that may arise, police have bolstered staffing numbers in the district into the Picton area.
"We continue to proactively engage with organisers and hope a peaceful end to the protest will be reached."
