284 Community-based sentence transfer—effect of interstate
(1) If the local sentence is registered in the interstate jurisdiction, the
following provisions have effect:
(a) the sentence becomes a community-based sentence in force in
the interstate jurisdiction, and ceases to be a community-based
sentence in force in this jurisdiction;
(b) the offender may be dealt with in the interstate jurisdiction for a
breach of the sentence, whether the breach happened before or
after the registration of the sentence;
(c) if the sentence is registered in the local register—the sentence
ceases to be registered.

based; or
(b) the imposition of the sentence.
(3) To remove any doubt, this section does not prevent the local sentence
