Governor may make such regulations as are contemplated by this Act or as are necessary or expedient for the purposes of this Act.

Without limiting the generality of subsection (1), regulations may be made with respect to any of the matters specified in Schedule 5.

A regulation made for the purposes of this Act may operate subject to prescribed conditions.

The regulations may adopt, wholly or partially and with or without modification—

Any regulations adopting an instrument, or an amendment to an instrument, may contain such incidental, supplementary and transitional provisions as appear to the Governor to be necessary.

The regulations or an instrument adopted by the regulations may—

be of general or limited application; and

make different provision according to the circumstances or entities to which they are expressed to apply; and

provide that any matter or thing is to be determined, dispensed with, regulated or prohibited according to the discretion of the Minister, the Commission, a joint planning board, a council, the Chief

Executive, the Commissioner for Consumer Affairs, an authorised person or any other specified body or person.

Without limiting a preceding subsection, the regulations may—

provide for the effect of failing to comply with any time limit or requirement prescribed by the regulations, including by providing that any action taken after the expiration of any such time limit or in a manner inconsistent with any such requirement will not have effect under this Act; and
