Firefighters went to the block of flats about 7am (AEST) after reports a fourth floor unit was alight.
Nord was pulled from his unit by firefighters, who quickly extinguished the blaze and then alerted police after discovering chemicals and explosive devices inside the premises.
Nord now faces charges of damaging property by fire and possessing explosives with the intent to destroy other properties.
He chose not to appear in Parramatta Local Court for a bail hearing.
A police statement of facts tendered to the court said Nord bought 20kg of compounds, including potassium nitrate, chlorine, and sulphur, to make home-made explosives.
He also is accused of having 31 devices suspected to be smoke bombs.
'The accused revealed the ingredients had been purchased by him over the past three months, June to September 2008, in order for him to carry out a plan to cause damage and destruction to the Coles supermarket located at Westfield Shopping Centre at Bondi Junction by setting off a smoke bomb and subsequently burning down the property,' the statement says.
In April 2005, Nord sustained facial injuries during an armed robbery while working at a Coles Express store in Edgecliff, the court was told.
He has not worked since, but has received workers' compensation while remaining on Coles' payroll
Miura to continue court battle in Saipan
The Yomiuri Shimbun
SAIPAN--A lawyer for Kazuyoshi Miura, a 61-year-old former company president currently being detained in Saipan on suspicion of plotting the shooting-related death of his wife in 1981, vowed Saturday to continue the court battle to prevent Miura being extradited to Los Angeles.
Bruce Berline said he informed his client by telephone of a Los Angeles county court's decision to activate an arrest warrant for him.
Meanwhile, Miura has demanded that the decision by the district court of the U.S. Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands approving his transfer to Los Angeles be nullified. The attorney vowed to continue the court battle to prevent his client's extradition, saying Miura will need to appear in the district court in Saipan.
