Three days on for Occupy Dunedin, and the Octagon is filled with tents, while numbers of people supporting the campaign are reportedly on the increase.

Campaigner Kieran Trass says more people are showing an interest in the protest, with around 80 people camped out on the Octagon lawn.

Trass says people across the city are showing their support by dropping off supplies of food to the protesters.

He says the campaign is highly organised, with everything from recycling to security in the evenings.

Trass says there's a policy of keeping the lawn spotless and clean, and they are holding general assemblies twice daily.
