        (a)     to increase the number of hours of community service work to be done under the order; or

        (b)     for an order mentioned in the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005

, section 17 (7) (Non-conviction orders—general)—to extend the term of the order beyond 3 years.

    (2)     A court may not amend an offender's good behaviour order in a way that would be inconsistent with a core condition of the order.

    (3)     If the Supreme Court made, or amended, an offender's good behaviour order, the Magistrates Court must not amend the order in a way that would be inconsistent with the order as made, or amended, by the Supreme Court.
