The Dunedin City Council have served a Trespass Notice to Occupy Dunedin protesters in the Octagon.

Since the 15th of October, Occupy Dunedin have maintained a 24 hour presence in contravention of the Council's Reserves Bylaw and Camping Control Bylaw.

The campaigners have been warned by the DCC to leave the Octagon by 8 o'clock tonight, or face fines of up to $1,000 or imprisonment.

Upon issue of the notice, the DCC's offer to use the Market Reserve as an alternative location has been withdrawn.
