(2) Unless a direction is given under this section, the period for which a person is required to be detained under a control order commences when the order takes effect.

(3) If the Children’s Court so directs, the period for which a person is required to be detained under a control order commences when the period for which the person is required to be detained under another control order or other control orders expires.

(4) The Children’s Court must not make a new control order, or give a direction under this section, if the order or direction would have the effect of requiring a person to be detained for a continuous period of more than 3 years (taking into account any other control orders relating to the person).
