Police have been gathering evidence since conducting raids at the weekend in what PM Malcolm Turnbull called a “major counter-terrorism operation”.
Investigators allege the plot involved an improvised explosive device.
A 50-year-old man was released by police on Tuesday, but three men remain in custody. No charges have been laid.
The men can be held for seven days without charge after a magistrate on Sunday granted police special powers.
“This investigation remains ongoing, and further information will be provided at an appropriate time,” the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said in a statement on Wednesday.
On Sunday, AFP Commissioner Andrew Colvin said authorities had intervened early without having “all the pieces of the puzzle” because it was a counter-terrorism investigation.
