The rioters left a shopping centre badly burnt and several businesses, mostly owned by Chinese, were wrecked.
The police say they have met the Chinese Association and assured it the situation is now under police control.
A spokesperson say 21 people have been charged in relation to the riots, with 15 charged with arson and six charged with unlawful assembly and alcohol related issues.
He says the police will remain on high alert.
