Ex-bikie Blair Bellamy pleads guilty to drug trafficking

A former project manager for a well-known family owned Melbourne building company has been unmasked as a bikie associate with a sideline dealing drugs.

Blair Bellamy pleaded guilty to trafficking meth and cannabis in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.

A former project manager for a well-known family owned Melbourne building company with links to bikies has been busted dealing drugs after being released from jail.

Former Bivcorp project manager Blair Bellamy pleaded guilty in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday to trafficking meth and cannabis.

Echo Taskforce detectives went to Bellamy’s Mt Waverley house to serve a firearm prohibition order where they uncovered a stash of cannabis.

Bellamy was promptly arrested and taken to the police station, while police performed a full search of his property after securing a search warrant.

During the raids, the anti-bikie taskforce seized 48g of meth, 36g of cocaine, and 12.8g of ketamine, along with a raft of Alprazolam tablets.

They also seized a whiteboard and a notebook with names and numbers inside – more commonly known as a “tick book”.

Blair Bellamy was on parole when he was raided by Echo Taskforce detectives.

When he was interviewed by police, Bellamy made admissions to the drugs but refused to let them access the five mobile phones they seized from his house.

“Drugs that were located at the premises are on my property and they are my responsibility,” he told police, before shaking his head when asked about the phones.

They were later able to access four of the phones without his help.

Bellamy was on parole at the time of his arrest, having been released from prison in July 2022 for trafficking large amounts of cocaine and MDMA.

The court heard Bellamy had been sentenced to a total of eight years and three months in 2017 for drug trafficking and had been released from prison in July 2022.

Bivcorp project manager Blair Bellamy was viewed as a “valued” member of the team before his arrest for drug trafficking.

The ex-Bivcorp project manager was a “valued” member of the business until his arrest, the court heard.

The court heard Bellamy lived an “unremarkable” life during his youth but the death of his father led to him becoming “associated” with outlaw motorcycle groups.

The former bikie also suffered from alopecia, which meant he was often “taunted” as a child, the court heard.

Bellamy, who completed half a commerce degree in 2011 before turning to the bikie lifestyle, was supported in court by his fiance.

He will be sentenced on May 30.
