UPDATED 4.03pm: A New Zealand citizen, accused of preparing to fight in Syria, will stand trial in Melbourne.

Amin Mohamed, 23, is charged with four counts of preparing to enter a foreign state to engage in hostile activities.

Prosecutors allege he booked a flight to Turkey and made plans to travel from there to Syria in September last year to fight in its civil war.

Mohamed has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the Melbourne Magistrates Court and will front the Supreme Court tomorrow for a directions hearing.

He's been bailed to a Melbourne-based detention centre.
