22 Revocation of children’s community service orders on being dealt with for other offences
(1) When a person in respect of whom a children’s community service order made by a court is in force appears before a court (being the same court as, or a court of higher jurisdiction than, the court that made the order) to be dealt with in respect of an offence other than the offence in respect of which the order was made, the court may do the following—
(a) decide to take no action in relation to the order,
(b) vary or revoke the conditions of, or impose further conditions on, the order,
(c) extend the relevant maximum period for the order,
(d) revoke the order.
(1A) If a court revokes a children’s community service order under subsection (1)(d), the court may deal with the person for the offence that resulted in the making of the order in the way the court could have dealt with the person if the order had not been made.
(2) For the purposes of subsections (1) and (1A), the Children’s Court and the Local Court shall be the same as each other.
