Which “international best practice” informed “Planning and infrastructure arrangements” for proposed new ministry MCRE/MCERT

Kate Linzey made this Official Information request to Public Service Commission

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Kate Linzey to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Kate Linzey

Dear Public Service Commission,

Point 11 in the Executive Summary of the Cabinet Paper “Planning and infrastructure arrangements” produced by Te Kawa Mataaho Public Service Commission / RMA Reform, 30 January 2026 states:

“This reform is ambitious but necessary. It reflects lessons from past structural changes and international best practice. MCRE will be smaller and more focused than previous “mega-ministries," with clear delegations and accountability. It represents a strategic shift toward a more agile, integrated, and future-ready Public Service.”

Please provide details of the “international best practice” cases explored, with an indication how they have informed the proposed new ministry.

Please note this request will also be made to the RMA Reform body. Best practice examples need only be relevant to the Public Service Commission.

Yours faithfully,

Kate Linzey
On behalf of the
Architectural Centre (Wellington)
