Unit 5\/29 Pound Street, Kingaroy … gathering here is now illegal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 16, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

A humble building in Kingaroy’s Pound Street industrial estate will soon be “off limits” following the passage of the State Government’s anti-bikie legislation last night.<\/p>\n

Unit 5, 29 Pound Street has been identified as a clubhouse where gathering will be illegal once the legislation gains Royal Assent.<\/p>\n

The Rebels Clubhouse is possibly the worst kept secret in town but it’s no longer “under the radar” following the publication of its address – and that of dozens of other bikie clubhouses in Queensland – in the metropolitan media today.<\/p>\n

There are believed to be about a dozen “patched” members of the Rebels in the South Burnett plus a number of associates and nominated members.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years, the Rebels have organised tattoo and bike shows in Kingaroy, and also held a regular social “poker run” for members.<\/p>\n

Under the new legislation, these activities will now be illegal, as will members meeting together or attending the Pound Street clubhouse.<\/p>\n

The penalty, a minimum of six months jail (or up to three years’ jail).<\/p>\n
