The High Court has rejected a challenge to the Queensland Government's anti-bikie laws.

The United Motorcycle Council (UMC), on behalf of 17 Queensland clubs, had attempted to overturn the Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment (VLAD) laws.

The case against the VLAD laws was brought forward by Stefan Kuczborski, a 44-year-old Hells Angels member and a tattooist with a minor drug possession conviction, and financed by the UMC.

It had argued the laws, designed to disrupt the activities of 26 outlaw motorcycle clubs in Queensland, were an attack on the judiciary, freedom of speech, and the right to associate.

The UMC argued the laws enlisted the courts to carry out Parliament's intention to destroy their organisations, which was at odds with the Constitution.

But the High Court rejected that argument, and said the laws did not require the courts to do any more than exercise their judicial power in the usual way.

The Queensland Government introduced the laws after a public brawl involving Bandido motorcycle gang members on the Gold Coast in September 2013, calling it a "line in the sand".

It said the laws were in the best interest of community and had the backing of attorneys-general from five states as well as the territories and the Commonwealth.

VLAD saw the introduction of extra powers for Queensland's Crime and Corruption Commission, a bikie-only prison north of Brisbane, and mandatory sentences of up to 25 years for serious crimes committed as part of gang activity.

The UMC's barrister, Wayne Baffsky, said the ruling was a blow to the people of Queensland and the laws would not improve crime rates.

"What we can expect to happen now is that innocent people will continue to be put behind bars and hard-working people will lose their livelihood," he said.

"There is no doubt these laws are having a negative impact on local communities and significant impacts for many innocent people."

The UMC has vowed to not to give up the fight against the laws.

These are strong laws, they are fair laws: Newman

The Queensland Government welcomed the High Court's ruling.

In a statement, the Premier Campbell Newman said the people of Queensland have been able to "reclaim their streets" under the VLAD laws.

"It's a win for families who've got every right to be able to have a safe night out in a restaurant precinct without fear of violence," he said.

"It's also a win for parents who are worried about their kids being encouraged or pushed to take illegal drugs, particularly ice."

The Premier urged other states and territories to follow Queensland's lead

"It's something we've all got to work together as as a team on. Crime doesn't stop at the border of Queensland," he said.

"I do indeed respectfully suggest to other state jurisdictions that they have a good look at this now."

The Queensland Government has previously said the laws had the backing of attorneys-general from five states and territories and the Commonwealth.

Queensland Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie said it had been clearly worthwhile introducing the laws.

"I've got to say that walking around the streets of Broadbeach now, talking to the business owners, lots of holidaymakers ... spending a lot of time in the beautiful weather we've got here in Queensland, we now offer some of the safest streets and our safest communities in Australia," he said.

Mr Bleijie said the laws were having the desired effect.

"You only have to go back just over a year ago to see a completely different situation where the criminal gangs said they owned the town," he said.

"No, they never did - the communities own the town and the communities through this win today in the High Court have taken back their towns and I think critically important here is the upholding of the anti-association laws."

South Australia was the first state to legally target outlaw clubs, but gang members claimed membership had increased since the laws there changed.

South Australia introduced a raft of laws designed to target organised crime and bikie gangs.

The men, accused of having links to the Rebels bikie gang, were arrested after they met for drinks in a Sunshine Coast hinterland pub last year.

Mr Smith has vowed to continue to fight the laws.

"Extreme disappointment in the High Court for seeing it that way, but I understand it, they can only judge on evidence that is provided in front of them, so it's back to square one now," he said.

"I don't think this is the end of the road, it is the start of the road. It will get worse and worse and worse for people's rights."

Gold Coast lawyer Bill Potts, who has represented gang members, warned the fate of the Queensland laws could ultimately be decided at the ballot box.

"Whether a law is right or wrong, in the sense of right for us as a society, is essentially one for the electors," he said.

The United Motorcycle Council, which provided financial support for the court challenge, said it would keep trying to overturn Queensland's anti-bikie laws despite the High Court ruling.

Spokesman Mick Kosenko said the battle was not over.

"We're going to keep fighting, it's our lives and our families and our businesses we're fighting for, if someone put your job and life on the line, you'd be fighting all you could too and we're going to keep going," he said.

Earlier this year, the Queensland Opposition vowed to repeal the VLAD laws, saying they were unworkable.
