CRIMES (SENTENCE ADMINISTRATION) ACT 2005 (NO. 59 OF 2005) - SECT 68

Board powers—breach of periodic detention obligations

    (1)     This section applies, if after conducting an inquiry under section 66 (Board inquiry—breach of periodic detention obligations) in relation to an offender, the board decides the offender has breached any of the offender's periodic detention obligations.

    (2)     The board may do 1 or more of the following:

        (a)     take no further action;

        (b)     give the offender a warning about the need to comply with the offender's periodic detention obligations;

        (c)     give the chief executive directions about the offender's supervision;

        (d)     change the offender's periodic detention obligations by imposing or amending an additional condition of the offender's periodic detention;

        (e)     suspend the offender's periodic detention for a stated period, but not past the end of the offender's periodic detention period;

        (f)     cancel the offender's periodic detention.

Note     Section 70 requires the board to cancel the offender's periodic detention in certain circumstances.

    (3)     An additional condition of a periodic detention must not be inconsistent with a core condition of the periodic detention.

    (4)     To remove any doubt, if an inquiry under section 66 in relation to an offender is conducted in conjunction with another inquiry under this Act in relation to the offender, the board may exercise its powers under this division with any other powers of the board in relation to the other inquiry.
