Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts(1) After conducting an inquiry in relation to the release of an offender on licence, the board must recommend, in writing, to the Executive whether the offender should be released from imprisonment on licence.
(2) If the board recommends the offender's release on licence, the board may recommend any condition, not inconsistent with this Act or the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005 , that the board considers appropriate for the offender's release on licence.
Note A reference to an Act includes a reference to the statutory instruments made or in force under the Act, including a regulation (see Legislation Act, s 104).
(3) The board may also make a recommendation about anything else it considers appropriate.
Examples
1 if the board recommends against the offender's release, the board may recommend when it might be appropriate to reconsider the offender's release
2 if the board recommends the offender's release, the board may recommend whether (and when) the board should review the appropriateness of the offender being at large under the licence
Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
(4) A recommendation by the board must be accompanied by its reasons for the recommendation.
