The Governor in Council may make regulations containing provisions of a transitional nature, including matters of an application or savings nature, arising as a result of the enactment of the Planning Amendment (Better Decisions Made Faster) Act 2026, including any repeals and amendments made as a result of the enactment of that Act.

Regulations made under this section may—

have a retrospective effect to a day that is not before the day on which the Planning Amendment (Better Decisions Made Faster) Act 2026 receives the Royal Assent; and

be of limited or general application; and

differ according to differences in time, place or circumstances; and

leave any matter or thing to be decided by a specified person or class of person; and

provide in a specified case or class of case for the exemption of persons or things or a class of persons or things from any of the provisions of the regulations, whether unconditionally or on specified conditions and either wholly or to the extent specified.

Regulations under this section have effect despite anything to the contrary in any Act (other than the Planning Amendment (Better Decisions Made Faster) Act 2026 or the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006) or in any subordinate instrument.

This section is repealed on the second anniversary of its commencement.
