        (2)         The regulations may prescribe anything required, necessary or convenient to be prescribed in relation to a transitional matter.

            (a)         do not apply to, or in relation to, a specified matter or thing; or

            (b)         apply with specified modifications to, or in relation to, a specified matter or thing.

        (4)         Transitional regulations may provide that specified provisions of an enactment repealed or amended under Part 15 continue to apply (with or without specified modifications) to, or in relation to, a specified matter or thing as if this Act, or a specified provision of this Act, had not been enacted.

        (5)         Transitional regulations may provide that a specified decision or other thing that —

                continues in force or effect (with or without specified modifications) as if it had been made, issued or done under a specified provision of this Act or of the regulations.

        (6)         Without limiting subsection (5), if transitional regulations under that subsection provide for a licence, permit, registration or other form of authority (however described) (the continuing authorisation ) to continue in force or effect as if it were an authorisation for the purposes of Part 4, section 45 applies in relation to any conditions of the continuing authorisation except to the extent that the transitional regulations otherwise provide.
