THREE protesters have been arrested after climbing on to Melbourne's Flinders Street Station to unfurl an anti-coal banner.
The Quit Coal coalition protesters used ropes to climb the clock tower on Monday and release the banner urging Victorian Premier Denis Napthine to invest in renewable energy.
Police confirmed three men were arrested at the scene.
Quit Coal spokeswoman Chloe Aldenhoven said two abseiling protesters and a third man who checked the rigging atop the clock tower were taken to Melbourne West police station for questioning.
The black banner read "Get off the coal train and on track for renewables, Denis," and features a train and a caricature of Dr Napthine trying to derail the tracks.
Ms Aldenhoven said the protesters knew they were at risk of being arrested for trespassing.
"They believe considering the disastrous predictions that climate change was offering that civil disobedience is a warranted course of action," Ms Aldenhoven said.
She said the big banner was taken down by police.
