Police in Coffs Harbour say they will use anti-consorting laws to thwart a bikie gang's plans for a major gathering.

Up to 1,000 members of the Rebels Outlaw Motorcycle Gang (OMCG) were planning to spend the weekend in the city as part of the group's "national run".

Coffs Clarence Crime manager Darren Jameson said if the bikies turn up local officers will stringently enforce the anti-consorting laws.

The laws were set up in 2012 to target bike gangs after a wave of gun violence involving bikies and organised crime groups.

"These consorting laws are available to NSW Police, to stop criminals associating together," Detective Inspector Jameson said.

"Given the long history of bikies being involved in criminal activity we were very confident we would be able to rigorously enforce those laws, if they did come to Coffs Harbour.

"We still have a significant policing response if they do decide to do smaller runs in the area, those consorting laws will be enforced."

Detective Inspector Jameson said the Rebels planned to ride into Coffs Harbour for a major party and other high-profile events.

"We were expecting anywhere from 600 to a thousand bikies," he said.

"These are the guys that are the one percenters.

"By their own definition they are the ones, the one percent of the community that will not follow the rule of law.

"Obviously that created significant risks not only for police, but also for our community."

The Coffs Harbour Liquor Accord has voted unanimously not to welcome the Rebels to the area.

Accord chairman John Rafferty said the 31 members from the area's major clubs, pubs and restaurants felt the bikies could drive business away.

"The Liquor Accord were addressed by the police regarding the rally that the bikers were going to have," he said.

"It was put to a vote and the licences voted unanimously to not have them come into our premises.

"Because we don't want the hassle of having the amount of police coming through and also the intimidation of people in great numbers in our venues."
