              (ii)     the period during which the work is to be completed; and

              (iii)     where the offender must present himself or herself for the administration of the condition to start; and

              (iv)     when, or the period within which, the offender must present;

        (c)     if the good behaviour order includes a probation condition—

              (i)     the probation supervisor for the offender; and

              (ii)     where the offender must present himself or herself for the administration of the condition to start; and

              (iii)     when, or the period within which, the offender must present;

              (ii)     the period for which the offender is to take part in the program; and

              (iii)     where the offender must present himself or herself for the administration of the condition to start; and

              (iv)     when or the period within which the offender must present;
