The 16-year-old is yet to admit or deny charges, which are possession of a firearm and ammunition.

In December, Judge John Walker granted the teen bail to a specified address, with electronic monitoring and 24-hour supervision by a community agency.

A hearing has been held at the Youth Court this afternoon and those orders continue and will be reviewed again next Friday.
