The temporary apprehended violence order was extended for 14 days after a short hearing.
A lawyer for Webb appeared in front of a magistrate at Waverley Court and the order was extended for two more weeks.
The temporary court order states that Webb cannot go near his wife for at “least 12 hours after drinking alcohol or taking illicit drugs”.
Neither Stuart nor Kate showed up to the hearing.
A court listing in the NSW criminal court shows the matter will be heard at Waverley Court on October 24.
The actress, under her married name Katherine Leigh Webb, is listed on the application, lodged by Constable Dean Hodges on her behalf.

The couple has been married since 2010 and together are parents to their four-year-old daughter, Mae.
