              (i)     must vary the order to a non-custodial supervision order, unless satisfied on the evidence available that the safety of the person subject to the order or members of the public will be seriously endangered as a result of the release of the person on a non-custodial supervision order; or

              (ii)     if so satisfied, must confirm the order or vary the place of custody;

        (b)     if the supervision order is a non-custodial supervision order—
