Protestors have returned to Musgrave Park in Brisbane to resurrect their tent embassy that was cleared by police earlier today.

However, police and council say they're happy with the embassy's new location.

They say while officers are on hand to monitor the situation, they won't be asking them to move on.

Around 200 police surrounded Musgrave Park at South Brisbane this morning to remove tent embassy protesters who had refused to make way for this weekend's annual Greek festival.

The eviction, which saw 31 people arrested, coincided with the official opening of parliament and about 50 protesters marched later to Parliament House, demanding unsuccessfully to meet Premier.
