13B Alternative and additional actions to imposing penalty for graffiti offences under sections 4 (2) and 5

(1) A court may, instead of imposing a fine on a person for an offence under section 4 (2) or 5, make:

(a) a community correction order under the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 that is subject to the standard conditions of a community correction order and to a community service work condition, or

(b) a community service order under the Children (Community Service Orders) Act 1987 directing the person to perform community service work,

as the case requires.

(2) A court may, in addition to or instead of imposing a fine on a person, sentencing the person to imprisonment or imposing any other penalty on the person for an offence under section 4 (2) or 5, make a driver licence order.

Note : For example, a driver licence order might be imposed in addition to graffiti clean up conditions in relation to community service orders imposed instead of imprisonment for graffiti offences under the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 or the Children (Community Service Orders) Act 1987 .
