Queensland Police have moved to declare the Gold Coast arm of the Finks Motorcycle Club a criminal organisation.

It is the first time police have lodged such a Supreme Court application, using powers under the Criminal Organisation Act of 2009.

A special task force known as Hydra carried out an investigation into the club, which officers say is part of a wider campaign to disrupt and dismantle bikie-gangs involved in crime across the state.

After months of investigations, police say they have enough evidence to prove the Finks Motorcycle Club is involved in serious criminal activity on the Gold Coast.

Assistant Commissioner Mike Condon says the club has been involved in illegal and dangerous activities.

"Murder, extortion, robbery, burglary, stalking, deprivation of liberty, drug-trafficking, unlawful use of motor vehicles, possession of firearms, and intimidation and standover tactics," he said.

"Clearly these are offences and activities that the community will not stand for and in our view they pose a great risk to the community."

Assistant Commissioner Condon says he hopes the move will act as a deterrent.

"Criminals have been sitting back wondering what's going to happen in relation to this legislation," he said.

"We have now taken action, and if they've got any brains they'll be meeting and deciding that they need to start acting within accordance with what community standards require and stop committing offences.

"If they don't, they will be subject to an application, make no mistake."
