A Goonellabah man arrested during a dawn raid has been granted bail after being charged with further alleged breaches of an apprehended violence order.

Richmond Police District officers went to the Southern Cross Terrace address at about 4.30am on Tuesday, arresting the man at a home before sunrise.

Ethan Farrell, 24, was taken to Lismore Police Station and charged with two fresh alleged AVO breaches involving the same order.

On Tuesday, he appeared before Judge L Robinson in Bail Division via video from custody. The two fresh charges were dealt with alongside four earlier alleged breaches involving the same order.

Despite an outstanding warrant and the fresh charges, Farrell was granted bail on strict conditions.

These include reporting to Nowra Police Station three times a week and living at an approved address on the South Coast.

Farrell is banned from entering Lismore or coming within 10 kilometres of the town, except to attend court, and cannot contact the alleged victim or any witnesses in the case.

He must report to Nowra Community Corrections by Thursday.

Farrell is due to appear at Lismore Local Court on August 19.
