Protesters from the so-called Convoy to Canberra group have been camping at Exhibition Park since last week.
The group originally set up an illegal campsite near the National Library but they were moved on by police last Friday.
They will need to leave Exhibition Park on Sunday.
The protesters are made up of a number of loosely affiliated groups, such as sovereign citizens, anti-vaccine conspiracists and evangelical groups, but have been demonstrating together against vaccine mandates.
