Kerry Lee Whiting, 44, appeared by video before Justice Robert Pearce and was remanded in custody.
Counsel on brief Olivia Jenkins said that Mr Whiting would meet his Hobart-based lawyer Fabiano Cangelosi to discuss a crown statement of facts.
She said Mr Cangelosi would take further instructions before it could be decided whether the case could be resolvable [decided via guilty plea] or whether a trial was still required.
Crown prosecutor John Ransom said that if the matter remained a trial it could held in Hobart in November.
Mr Whiting previously pleaded not guilty in December 2021 to the murder of Adrian Paul Mayne and the attempted murder of Natalie Joyce Harris, 36, at a house in Ravenswood on November 25, 2021.
