In a joint cross-border operation, around 4.45pm on Tuesday officers attached to the Monaro Regional Enforcement Squad located and arrested the man in a carpark on the corner of Collie and Newcastle Streets in Fyshwick.
ACT police officers then took the man into their custody and conveyed him to the Watch House at City station.
NSW police officers applied for the alleged offender's extradition at an appearance in the ACT Magistrates Court on Wednesday, with the order granted.
The man was escorted to Queanbeyan police station where the two outstanding warrants relating to reckless wounding, a domestic violence assault, and two counts of domestic violence-related stalking were executed.
He was refused bail to appear in the Cooma Local Court.
