Two men accused of preparing to join terrorist operations in Syria will face a committal hearing in September.

Omar Succarieh, 32, and Agim Kruezi, 22, were arrested in a series of counter-terrorism raids last year amid accusations they were preparing for incursions into war-torn Syria, among other allegations.

Three days were set aside in September for a committal hearing during a brief mention of their cases in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday.

Defence lawyer Trent Jones sought a six-week adjournment of the case to allow time to go through new evidence in Kruezi's matter.

He said there was already a large amount of material in the brief of evidence.

Further allegations against Kruezi claimed he was planning a terrorist act, possessed weapons and recruited people to fight overseas.

Succarieh is charged with providing funds to the terrorist organisation Jabhat Al-Nusra, also known as the Al-Nusra Front, in Syria.

Both men have been behind bars since their arrest last September.

Neither was required to appear on Thursday and case will return to court on July 9.
