"Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed with Beyond 2025 Southland for RSLG to
deliver the Skil ed Workforce Development workstream. (Doing the mahi and partner
col aboration)” May I request the full copy of MOU signed referred here.’ MBIE is unable to provide a signed Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU), as the document
you have requested was incorrectly referred to as an MOU on the MBIE website. The website
reference should have referred to a Terms of Reference (ToR) agreed between Beyond 2025
Southland and the independent Southland Murihiku Regional Skil s Leadership Group.
The ToR recognises and supports alignment between the Beyond 2025 Southland population
and people strategic pillar, and the Southland Murihiku Regional Skills Leadership Group’s
independent advice on workforce and skil s planning.
The information you have requested (ToR, incorrectly referred to as MOU on the MBIE
website) is enclosed, and the website has been updated accordingly.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, or if you require any further
assistance, please contact
[email address].
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman. Information about
how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800
802 602.
