Two activists have told the Ararat Advertiser that seven workers, who they believe are from Major Road Projects Victoria, attended the campsites along the highway at Buangor about 10am on Monday.

Activists say the workers arrived at the campsite in three unmarked utes with two security guards.

The activists said they then walked the workers off the site after a brief interaction, chanting: "Always was, always will be Aboriginal land."

This was the same chant used when activists forced police off the land in March this year.

Spokeswoman Amanda Mahoment said the interaction was peaceful.

"This is Djab Wurrung Country - we've never ceded sovereignty of our land," she said.

"These workers must seek our permission before entering or conducting business on our country.

"We welcome people to country every day, but only when they show respect for our traditions, our culture and our Lore.

"These men came to conduct work that will ultimately destroy our sacred places. They have come with no respect for our culture, and we will continue to assert our sovereignty until the Daniel Andrews Government recognises us as the Traditional Owners of this land."

Major Road Projects Victoria has been contacted for comment.
