Police from Strike Force Raptor are hoping there won't be a fresh outbreak of bikie gang violence in the Hunter, with Serious Crime Prevention Orders against several gang members expiring this weekend.
More than 20 gang members are set to defend charges of either directing or participating in a criminal group in August.
Over an 18 month period, there were a series of drive-by shootings, firebombings and brawls involving rival bikie gang members.
Police took the unprecedented step of applying for Supreme Court orders in a bid to stop the violence.
They prevent gang members from associating, wearing club insignia, travelling at night and using encrypted messaging services as part of a suite of strict conditions.
The brief of evidence against the accused gang members has ballooned in recent weeks from 2400 pages to more than 8200 pages.
