An alleged former Bandidos outlaw motorcycle gang member has been charged with habitual consorting under Queensland's new anti-bikie legislation.

The 21-year-old Gold Coast man was previously warned twice not to consort with recognised offenders, police said.

The 21-year-old Gold Coast man was a former Bandidos member, police allege.

Police said the man continued to consort with the people warned against, and was charged after a search warrant was conducted on a house in Upper Coomera on Saturday.

The man was given strict bail at Southport Magistrates Court on Monday morning to reappear on August 30.

Detective Acting Chief Superintendent Roger Lowe said the charge carried a potential three-year imprisonment.

“The habitual consorting charge ... is intended to disrupt and prevent serious criminal activity by deterring recognised offenders from establishing, maintaining or expanding criminal networks," he said.

"Those issued should understand the implications of disregarding warning notices."
