Considerations in varying, revoking or extending final prohibition orders

    (1)     In determining whether to vary, revoke or extend a final prohibition order, the court must have regard to—

        (a)     the reasons for making the final prohibition order; and

        (b)     any change in the registrable offender's circumstances since the final prohibition order was made or last varied; and

        (c)     the matters set out in section 66J; and

        (d)     if the registrable offender is a child, the matters set out in section 66K ; and

        (e)     any other matters that the court considers relevant.

    (2)     In determining an application for a variation, revocation or extension of a final prohibition order made against a registrable offender who is a child, the Children's Court may—

        (a)     have regard to the assessment report, and any community treatment report, prepared for the hearing for the final prohibition order;

        (b)     order the preparation of a new assessment report;

        (c)     order the preparation of a community treatment report if—

              (i)     the assessment report prepared for the hearing for the final prohibition order raised concerns about the impact on the child of making the final prohibition order; or

              (ii)     a new assessment report raises concerns about the impact on the child of varying or extending, or not revoking, the final prohibition order.

    (3)     Section 66L applies in respect of a further assessment report ordered under subsection (2)(b), as if the report had been ordered by the Children's Court under section 66L(1).
