A regulation may prescribe anything necessary or convenient to be prescribed for interpreting or applying this section or a development control plan, including, but not limited to—
transitioning a category of development or category of assessment stated in a development control plan to a category of development or category of assessment under this Act; or
stating how an assessment matter in a development control plan applies to the carrying out, after the commencement, of development on premises to which the plan applies; or
providing for the relationship between—
a development control plan and a regulation, including the relationship between an assessment matter in a development control plan and a matter prescribed by regulation under this Act; or
