The effort, organised by members of the Dubbo Environmental Group, has put 19 questions in total to Mr Saunders.
The demonstration was arranged after a meeting inside the electorate office with Mr Saunders had to be changed because of COVID-19, organiser Margaret McDonald said.

Mrs McDonald says that she hopes to raise awareness about issues with the plan after seeing what she calls 'incorrect' information being propagated.
"Even last week in the media, there were people writing in to the editor with incorrect statements, putting the case forward for irrigators to produce more food and utilise more of our resources," Mrs McDonald said.
"Even after all the fish deaths we've seen and the advocacy that groups like us have been putting forward, the rivers are not getting their share, neither Queensland or New South Wales are following the policies put in place by the Murray Darling Basin Authority."
The list of questions extends to cover other topics in water management, like the government's management of floodplain harvesting restrictions.
"Our questions are about that and we know that the environment is suffering drastically, our wetlands are very dry and the fish and river gums are dying."
In a statement following the demonstration, Mr Saunders thanked the group for making their concerns known.
"I have looked at the document they gave me, which contained a lengthy list of questions, and we discussed some of those in person," Mr Saunders said.
"In general though, I will say it is important to regulate floodplain harvesting to make sure that water is shared fairly amongst all communities, water users, industry and with the environment."
"The NSW Government has spent more than seven years and $37 million to determine the right modelling to understand how much water is collected through floodplain harvesting and how to work with communities to license that water."
