David James Pye, 40, appeared in Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court on Wednesday via videolink from custody where he pleaded not guilty to six charges.
He has been charged with the murder of former associate and senior Rebels bikie Nick Martin, who was shot dead from long range at Perth Motorplex in 2020.
It is alleged Pye, linked to the Comancheros gang, organised and paid for Martin to be shot in a sniper-style attack.
The shooter, a former soldier, was in 2021 sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment after pleading guilty to Martin's murder.
Police allege Pye offered to pay the same shooter to murder a woman and another senior bikie who lives overseas.
Their murders never eventuated.
Pye was committed to face a Supreme Court trial and will return to court at a later date.
