A 25-year-old man has been arrested in Sydney's north-west in relation to terrorism offences.
Australian Federal Police (AFP) said the Beecroft man was arrested by the joint counter-terrorism team as part of investigations into the planning of a terrorist attack on Australian soil and the facilitation of travel of Australian citizens to Syria.
New South Wales Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said there was no suggestion the incident was connected to the hostage situation in Sydney's Martin Place.
"No, at this stage there is no connection," he said.
The AFP was expected to provide more details later.
