A special police taskforce targeting Victorian outlaw motorcycle gangs is getting $3 million from the Commonwealth to extend their work for another three years.

The funding will allow the Victorian strike team of the National Anti-Gang Squad (NAGS) to continue until 2019 after making 150 arrests.

The team is made up of two Victoria Police officers, five Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers and an Australian tax office worker.

It has laid 350 charges, seized 120 illegal firearms and confiscated illegal drugs with a street value of $7.5 million in the three years that it has been operating.

The extra funding will also allow the Victorian squad to expand its operation into regional areas.

Federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan said the team had played a key role in dismantling bikie gangs.

"Members of these gangs are often violent predators and they use any means at their disposal to continue to make a profit," he said.

"We're not going to tolerate organised motorcycle gangs in particular menacing the safety of Australians and peddling in the misery of ice."

Squad helps improve community safety

Lisa Neville, the Victorian Police Minister, said the work of the anti-gang squad and the AFP "sits at the heart of the safety of Victorians".

"These investments will make a significant difference to keeping Victoria safe," she said.

"We know by stopping ice, firearms, and breaking gangs we can make a real difference in the quality of life of the community's sense of safety."

Responding to a report in Fairfax Media from a British security expert who said the MCG was vulnerable to a terror attack, Ms Neville said she had full confidence in the counterterrorism experts at Victoria Police who work closely with security agencies across Australia.

"They work hand in hand with places like the MCG... one of those big important iconic assets in Victoria where many thousands of Victorians go each and every week," she said.

"They're consistently assessing those security risks and I have every confidence in the right people making those decisions and that is the counter terrorism team with the AFL and the MCG."

Ms Neville said the security of major public facilities in the state is constantly being assessed.
