Protests in Auckland on Saturday helped the last minute decision to can another controversial event.

The Council's nixed an anti co-governance meeting in Mount Eden tonight, as well as a protest group's booking immediately after.

The group are now planning a rally outside.

On Saturday, more than 2000 loudly protested at an anti-transgender rally, including tomato juice being thrown at the speaker.

The Council's Claudia Wyss says they didn't want altercations.

"Following the weekend's events, we were just taking a much more careful approach to this and we wanted to be sure that we could keep members of the public safe."
