Court may extend a final prohibition order

    (1)     Subject to subsection (2), the court may extend the duration of a final prohibition order if satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that it is necessary to extend the duration of the order to reduce the risk that the registrable offender poses to the sexual safety of one or more persons, or of children or the community generally.

        (a)     if the registrable offender is an adult, is more than 5 years after the day on which the final prohibition order was made; or

        (b)     if the registrable offender is a child, is more than 2 years after the day on which the final prohibition order was made; or

        (c)     in any case, would be after the day on which the registrable offender's reporting period ends.

    (3)     If the court makes an order extending the duration of a final prohibition order, the court must give the registrable offender—

        (a)     a copy of the final prohibition order as extended by the order extending the final prohibition order; and

        (b)     a written notice that—

              (i)     states that an order extending the duration of the final prohibition order has been made; and

        (b)     if the registrable offender is not before the court, be served on the registrable offender with a copy of the order extending the duration of the final prohibition order.
