Goodwin and his family had previously proposed that he return to the area of Taranaki where the crime happened - and where his victim's family still live - to work on his family farm.
The board did not believe that was appropriate but had approved him living with a supporter at a rental property in Taranaki and continuing to work for a contractor, who has employed him on a prison release to work programme for nearly two years.
"All of that has gone without incident. It is proposed that he continues that work, that he does it within a circle which roughly encompasses the Wanganui and top of the Manawatu districts, that he keeps away from a larger part of Taranaki and particularly important areas of Taranaki,'' the board's decision said.
He would also be electronically monitored and on a 7pm-7am curfew.
Goodwin had been assessed as being at a moderate to low risk of reoffending and, while in prison had had no misconducts or incidents and had had a minimum security qualification for a long time.
"Mr Goodwin has shown by his behaviour ... that he is no longer an undue risk to the safety of the community and we propose releasing him accordingly,'' it said.
