COMMUNITY PROTECTION (OFFENDER REPORTING) ACT 2004 - SECT 29A

29A .         Intended absence from place of residence to be reported

        (1)         In this section, a reference to the place where a reportable offender generally resides is a reference to —

            (a)         the premises, or each of the premises, where he or she generally resides, as determined in accordance with section 26(2)(a); or

            (b)         if he or she does not generally reside at any particular premises, the localities in which he or she can generally be found.

        (2)         This section applies to a reportable offender who —

            (a)         intends to leave the place where he or she generally resides for 7 or more consecutive days; and

            (b)         does not intend to leave Western Australia.

        (3)         At least 7 days before leaving the place where he or she generally resides, the reportable offender must report the intended absence to the Commissioner and must provide details of —

            (a)         the dates, or approximate dates, of the period during which he or she intends to be absent from the place where he or she generally resides; and

            (b)         each address or location within Western Australia at which he or she intends to reside (to the extent that they are known) and the dates, or approximate dates, of the periods during which he or she intends to reside at those addresses or locations.

        (4)         If circumstances arise making it impracticable for a reportable offender to make the report at least 7 days before he or she leaves, it is sufficient compliance with subsection (3) if the reportable offender reports the required information to the Commissioner no later than 24 hours after leaving the place where he or she generally resides.

        (5)         If the reportable offender decides not to leave the place where he or she generally resides, he or she must report his or her change of intention to the Commissioner within 7 days after deciding not to leave.

        (6)         This section does not limit any requirement under this Act for a reportable offender to report a change in the place where he or she generally resides.
