Sydney-based crime gang Notorious and bikie gangs Lone Wolf and Rock Machine were eyeing off the state's drug market.
Mr Anticich told an Australian Association of Crown Prosecutors conference the state's strong economy provided an attractive market for organised crime groups.
"Their primary target is West Australians with a high level of disposable income who are likely to engage in experimentation and drug misuse," he said.
"What we are seeing now is a criminal environment that is dynamic, resilient and better networked than ever before."
Interest from the gangs was being fuelled by the fact the price of one ounce of methylamphetamine - or speed - in WA fetched almost double the price that it did in NSW, Mr Anticich said.


Police intelligence suggested Lone Wolf and Notorious had not yet established themselves in WA while Rock Machine was close to setting up a chapter.
Mr Anticich told the conference WA currently had seven outlaw bikie gangs with a total of 293 members.
