Aysha Mehajer, whose wedding to suspended Auburn councillor Salim shut down a Sydney street and triggered investigations that ultimately shut down the council, has applied for an apprehended violence order against her husband.

Police have confirmed officers from the Sydney City Local Area Command received an application for an AVO against Mr Mehajer on Monday.

Aysha Mehajer used her maiden name Learmonth in the application.

Officers representing Ms Learmonth, the one-time Wollongong beautician, will appear in court on Wednesday to make the application against the property developer.
