26 Alternative to fine

Instead of imposing a fine on a person for a relevant offence, a court may—

(a) if the Children (Community Service Orders) Act 1987 applies to the person—make an order under that Act, section 5(1) requiring the person to perform community service work, or

(b) otherwise—make a community correction order under the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999, section 8 that is subject to a community service work condition.

Note—

Under the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999, section 88, a court that makes a community correction order must impose the standard conditions of a community correction order on the order.
