The 38-year-old man appeared in Warrnambool Magistrates Court late on Wednesday charged with making a threat to kill, intentionally damaging property and breaching a family violence intervention order.

He successfully applied for bail and was released from custody with strict conditions, including he not attend the City of Melbourne and abide by his current corrections and family violence intervention orders.

The court heard the man was named as the respondent in a family violence intervention order until 2030.

The order prohibited the man from remaining within five metres of the victim's house, damaging her property and contacting her.

The man allegedly breached that order on October 18 when he attended the victim's Melbourne home and knocked on the door.

When she refused to let him inside, the man allegedly threatened to kill the victim. He then picked up a tile and threw it through a window, causing it to break.

Then on October 20, the man attended the woman's house and allegedly asked to stay for two nights because he was homeless. The victim complied.

When the man left the house to return to the south-west, the victim allegedly contacted police.

At the time of the alleged offending, the man was on a corrections order for similar offending.

Magistrate Mark Stratmann said the offending was serious.

But he said the man had stable accommodation and could face "significant delays" in custody.

He granted the man strict conditional bail and ordered him to appear in court again in February next year.
