Protests don't represent Bendigo: Andrews

"Nasty types" who travel into Bendigo to protest against mosques don't represent the local community, Premier Daniel Andrews says.

Far right-wing group the United Patriots Front beheaded a dummy outside the Bendigo council offices on the weekend.

They shouted "Allahu Akbar" while beheading the dummy, and poured fake blood on the pavement.

Another protest is planned for the regional city of Bendigo after recent violent clashes between anti-mosque and anti-racism protesters over a proposed mosque last month.

A decision to allow the building of the mosque in the city has drawn opposition from some locals and campaigners from around the country.

"Whilst I'll always defend a person's right to peacefully protest and have a view about things, I think we have seen, particularly in Bendigo, some very ugly scenes," Mr Andrews told reporters on Monday.

Mr Andrews was responding to claims from mosque supporters that many protesters were coming from outside Bendigo and Victoria.

In the days before the Bendigo council approved the mosque in June 2014, a Queensland man was intercepted by police for using a hired truck with a loudspeaker to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer through the streets of the town's central business district.

The premier said a community BBQ to support diversity that attracted thousands on Friday represented the real Bendigo.

"Not nasty types travelling in from other states to disrupt Bendigo, but locals in Bendigo going down to the park to have a picnic with their families," he said.

Bendigo council was forced to abandon its monthly meeting in September when 80 protesters, shouting abuse at the five councillors who voted to approve the mosque, forced Mayor Peter Cox to leave under police guard.

A meeting scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed until October 14 after the UPF said it would hold a protest in Bendigo on Saturday.
