Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) The purpose of a
community service requirement is to punish or rehabilitate an offender by
making him or her do unpaid community work.
(2) The community
service requirement is a requirement that within the term of the CBO the
offender —
(a) must
do unpaid community work for a number of hours set by the court; and
(b) must
do at least 12 hours of that work in any 7 day period; and
(c) must
perform community corrections activities if and as ordered by the CEO
(corrections) under Part 7 of the Sentence Administration Act 2003 .
(3) The number of
hours set by the court must be at least 10 and not more than 120.
(4) Any hours of work
done by an offender count as hours done under a community service requirement
in any other community order, unless the court orders that the number of hours
of work to be done are to be done in addition to any hours the offender has to
do under another community order.
(5) At any one time
the total number of hours of work yet to be done by an offender under
community orders must not exceed 240.
(6) A community
service requirement ceases to be in force when the offender finishes working
the hours set to the satisfaction of a CCO or when the CBO ceases to be in
force, whichever happens first.
