(3) However, if it is not reasonably practicable for the reportable offender to make the initial report when the offender receives the notice, the offender must make the initial report—

(a) within the period stated for the offender in schedule 3 , column 2; or

(b) if more than 1 circumstance mentioned in schedule 3 , column 1 applies to the offender—within the shorter of the applicable periods stated for the offender in schedule 3 , column 2; or

(c) if the offender intends to leave Queensland before the end of the period stated for the offender in schedule 3 , column 2—before the offender leaves Queensland.

(5) However, subsection (4) (c) does not apply to an offender who enters Queensland from a foreign jurisdiction and remains for less than 7 consecutive days.

(6) Also, if—

(a) a reportable offender’s reporting period for a reportable offence ends; and

(b) the offender is later sentenced for another reportable offence when the offender is not in Queensland;

the offender must make the offender’s initial report to the police commissioner within 7 days after entering and remaining in Queensland for 7 or more consecutive days.
