Variation of community service order
110 Variation of community service order
If, on the application of a person required to perform community service under a bond or an order of a court, the Minister for Correctional
Services is satisfied that—
the person will not complete the community service in the time provided for in the order or the bond; and
sufficient reason exists for the person not being able to complete the community service in the required time, the Minister may, by instrument in writing, extend the period within which the person must complete the performance of the community service.
The court that ordered a person to perform community service, or a court of coordinate jurisdiction, may, on application by the person or the
Minister for Correctional Services, vary the terms of the order for community service, or vary or revoke an ancillary order.
The period within which community service must be performed cannot be extended under this section, whether by the Minister or the court, by a period exceeding 6 months, or periods that, in aggregate, exceed
6 months.
If the Minister extends the period within which a person must complete the performance of community service under an order or a bond, the order or bond will be taken to have been amended accordingly.
The Minister must notify the probative or sentencing court of any exercise of powers under subsection (1).
