An intensive correction order may lawfully be imposed cumulatively upon an activated suspended sentence because ordering service of a suspended sentence under s 147 of the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 (Qld) is not 'sentencing' within the meaning of s 118, and the prohibition on intensive correction orders where total imprisonment exceeds one year does not apply. For the purposes of the Corrective Services Act 1988 (Qld), an intensive correction order is a sentence to a term of imprisonment, and a cumulative intensive correction order commences upon completion of the activated suspended sentence (taking into account remissions).
